I agree with Mr. Hill that it would be very difficult to comply with such a requirement. In a riding where you have 45 municipal governments, a large industrial city with a population of 80,000 people and rural municipalities, and where 500 people work on your campaign, how are we supposed to know how many hours such and such a person worked, who arranged to be replaced by somebody else, etc.?
I find this totally utopian. How could we keep track of all the hours put in by people who work for parties during an election campaign? And we have been talking about one candidate only. When you have five or six candidates, that is a lot of people wandering about. In my view, no political party will be able to account for all the volunteer work.
