Absolutely.
As you recall, there are two main problems for the current regime. One is the scope of regulated activities. Right now, the regime in the Canada Elections Act limits the expenses of third parties in terms of election advertising expenses only. That does not capture a range of activities such as get out the vote, canvassing, or other activities that may be campaigning in nature.
The first question is to what extent should we look at expanding the scope of the regime. The second question is in terms of revenue. Right now, only revenues obtained for the purpose of election advertising are regulated by these third parties. The act does not regulate the use of general revenue and through general revenue a lot of third parties have all kinds of funding coming to them for various reasons. To the extent that they can use their general revenue to fund their campaign activities, even currently regulated activities, then through that we can see some foreign money coming in. Both aspects need to be looked into. I know that this is something the committees can surely [Inaudible-Editor]would be the recommendations report. We provided some suggestions to the committee, which it has endorsed. I, of course, support those recommendations.
