The new division 0.1 of part 17 of the act would prohibit all third parties, including foreign third parties, from using foreign money for the purpose of partisan activities, advertising and election surveys. What the provision that has been carried already does not do is prohibit a foreign third party from incurring some expenses outside of the election and of the pre-election period, but in order to incur these expenses, it would always need to fund these expenses with Canadian money. That's the difference.
We are prohibiting all third parties from using foreign money at all times for partisan activities, advertising and election surveys, but foreign third parties would still be able to incur some of these expenses outside of the election and pre-election period, but they will always need to fund themselves from a Canadian source. They could receive contributions, for example, from a Canadian source, and have some activities outside of the election and pre-election period.
