moved for leave to introduce Bill C-230, an act to amend the Canada Elections Act (election expenses).
Madam Speaker, passage of this bill would force political parties to raise all the money they need from the people they purport to represent, instead of gaining money by compulsion from taxpayers through the election rebate system. I hope members will support this bill and force their supporters to actually support them.
