With regard to the discussion you had on foreign funding for third parties, would the provision being added, or that you suggest to be added, to proposed sections 349.95 and 358, which are the ones mirroring the anti-circumvention provisions elsewhere in the Elections Act, I can certainly see how they would take care of some of the concerns you raised regarding foreign funding, but I'm not sure I see how they would deal with the problem that you characterize in the following words in your table: “Also, if foreign funds are specifically given to free up domestic resources of a third party so that it could conduct regulated activities, it is not clear that this would be prohibited.”
I don't see how that does that, given that money is fungible. Is there a way of overcoming this problem that you can direct us towards?
