Yes, I believe this has been a neglected area of Canadian political finance law. Bringing in nomination contests and leadership contests is a very important next step in making sure that Canadians can trust the different stages of the electoral process. While we have had some transparency, in auditing that takes place by Elections Canada, I think this bill pushes that in the right direction by bringing in those two types of competitions. Even though they are competitions that happen at the level of the private organization of the political party, I think it will enhance public confidence in our election processes.
