Thank you, Mr. Stockfish, and welcome.
That is the reason why it is better for a political party to give a candidate money rather than to lend it, correct?
Let's say that the constituency association goes to a financial institution for a loan. First, in Bill C-54 only a loan of $1,100 can be guaranteed, and if someone has made a contribution of $1,100, he cannot then guarantee a loan. No guarantee can be made because it is the same as a contribution.
If the association makes the loan, can the association president, the election agent or anyone who signs the loan also give $1,100? Are these people just guaranteeing the loan, or do they represent the association? Is my question clear?
