The billionaire looking to make trouble is not going to come forward to Elections Canada and say, “Oh, by the way, I'm spreading $10 million across the next election to elect this party.”
A second question is around the type of sharing of information. It would be one thing if Ms. Furlong's group gathered data on a million Canadians and shared it with a party versus one of her chapter groups saying, “There is a debate tonight on water in Kingston. Please go.” Both are sharing information. One has quite an impact, having that kind of data-rich source given to one party over another. Another is inviting to a public forum.
Is there some distinction that needs to be made in this act before it's passed through Parliament, not to crack the walnut with a sledgehammer, but also to be able to get at the thing that we're trying to get at?
