Mr. Speaker, as minister responsible for the elections act or at least its passage through the House, we all know that anyone can make contributions to political parties providing they satisfy the criteria that they are Canadian citizens or taxpayers in Canada. People donate to the Reform Party, the Liberal Party and all other parties, including people in the corporate sector who give now and then to people on all sides of the House.
In the House of Commons on October 20th, 1997. See this statement in context.
