I think that debate matters. I think what Canada has to be very proud of is its free debate. I believe that organizations, whether for-profit or not-for-profit, should be engaged in that debate. The donors we work with do support political parties, do support not-for-profit organizations that may be involved in advocacy, and I believe that is fine. I think that for every cause you have, there's going to be a donor pool. As long as those donations are voluntarily given, I would like to see a level playing field, where the fact that one would support one type of organization that is political, let's say a political party, shouldn't, in my opinion, receive preferential tax treatment to supporting Greenpeace.
