It varies by political entities. Of the two entities we have spoken most about today, for candidates in an election, 50% of the loans are from the candidates themselves, and another 30% are from other individuals. In leadership contests, which have been an issue of much discussion, leadership contestants are again depending on individual or other entity loans to the tune.... Again it varies very much, because there are far fewer contests, but it's somewhere around one-third of their funding that is through loans. Of this, a third is from individuals or corporations. Put the private loans aside—those covered by Bill C-21.
