Every country needs to have money for campaigning, and campaign costs are really going up. So money itself I don't think is a problem. The problem is if it's not a level playing field. We know that as soon as you bring in private money, those established parties who already have the donors can increase, and those who don't have the contacts and networks don't do that.
So instead of reducing some of the limits on the use of private money and fundraising expenses, in particular, think about more public subsidies, either by providing services in kind, for example, through expanding party political broadcasts and advertising and those sorts of things, or mailing; or by providing public subsidies that every party can have access to on a fair and equitable basis. Again, this is what many other countries in Europe have done, and so again, it's something that Canada can do to get over the issue of money in politics.
