If I had my druthers, I would say the penalty is double what you picked up, end of story, so that we would have a real deterrent to this occurring, to people not following the law. There has to be something major and important about not following the Canada Elections Act in terms of penalties associated with those infractions.
The whole issue is a level playing field, and you can't have people fooling around with it. There are other sections of the statute that say the penalty is double: double this, double that.
I know I'm not going to make many friends by saying it, but it should be double what you picked up.
