Mr. Mayrand, if I may follow up on that, we had some discussion with the minister on one particular component. His advice to the committee was that there is a degree of retrospection, in the sense that, at least for leadership candidates, the fact of a person still being a contestant by virtue of not yet having paid off their loans means that past contestants—for example, in the Liberal leadership race, or another one that we've had—can still benefit from the provision that allows for annual contributions as opposed to per event contributions.
On that particular semi-retroactive point, I want to clarify whether you are in agreement or not, because there is nothing in the bill that makes that clear. It simply has a very generic transition provision that would suggest that nothing is retroactive.
