I liked the Chief Electoral Officer's recommendation on seed costs of approximately $4,000. However, the committee may well prefer that the amount be $5,000 or $3,500. The committee could propose another amount, since its members know better what is necessary for a candidate to undertake an election campaign.
I believe that amount is reasonable. I also very much liked the idea that the same person could donate $1,200 over three years. That amount would be repaid. That would mean a contribution of $3,600, which is not scandalous in our federal system.
