They use it as leverage, right? If you receive 50% of your eligible expenses in a rebate, you're talking about 50-cent dollars. So if a constituency association has $20,000 in the bank, borrows $20,000 from a financial institution, and assigns that to the bank, it ends up spending $40,000. If $20,000 comes back as a rebate, it goes directly to the financial institution to pay off the loan, which is normally what happens in my neck of the woods.
Is that what you've seen in Ontario as well?
