In my opinion, this is a matter for Parliament. Compared to other countries in the world, we have one of the most stringent contribution regimes. I know that in Quebec, for example, there are more restrictive rules at the provincial level. When you look internationally, we're among the toughest. Until recently, Australia had anonymous donations up to and including $10,000, so we're in a different place.
We have a regime that I think is very robust. I also think it's Parliament's role to review it regularly to determine whether there is a fair balance. We have to make sure that candidates and political parties can still fund their activities, so we need to find a balance in the contribution thresholds.
