Then it becomes a debt after six months.
In my view, the whole issue should be dealt with as a debt. He said that he was recommending looking at the debts as well, at the same time, which I don't think is covered in Bill C-21 at this time.
With respect to debts, it's money owed for services rendered and not paid for. If there is no legal contestation by either party about the debt, then it is a debt. If there is, then what I say doesn't apply. If it is a debt and both parties agree, but I as a candidate don't have the money and the EDA does not have it, it cannot be repaid. Either it is a bad debt or the person persists in maintaining the debt on the books, in which case you continue to reflect it as a debt owed by that campaign.
