Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here.
I'll start with you, Ms. Fung.
You mentioned areas where the bill should be expanded to include things like election financing and issues around nominations in leadership races. It's my understanding that this legislation includes the nomination of a political candidate, the holding of an election or referendum, decision-making by public office holders and the proceedings of a legislative body. Certainly, my interpretation of some of the areas we're hearing about is that they would be inclusive of this.
If there's language you think is not making this clear, I'm curious about how we could improve it. When it comes to the financing of campaigns—you mentioned an example of in-kind—that would currently be illegal under the Elections Act if it's not reported. We wouldn't duplicate all of the Election Act financing rules within this law. How can we ensure the language is clear?
I assume that, for example, a leadership race would be included. Where is the language missing that's causing this disconnect?
