Thank you for asking that question.
I think the balance that is trying to be struck in this particular bill would be between limiting speech and allowing legitimate organizations to have a voice within the electoral system. The idea behind that 10% rule is to ensure that organizations that are not contributions-based would still be able to participate. You can envision a situation in which an organization that is not necessarily in the business of fundraising would be, essentially, left out of that electoral conversation if they weren't able to use some of their own funds.
One concern that I have, and one thing we might want to be concerned about with this idea that's come up that “Well, maybe there should just be a separate pool for just those particular actions,” is whether it does turn into more of the PAC-based system that we see in the United States. My understanding of “third parties” is that they are existing groups and organizations within Canada, groups of citizens who want to have a voice in the electoral conversation. Therefore, I think that moving towards a system in which it's just another avenue for contributions, another avenue for spending, might be a dangerous route to go down.
