Nothing, zilch. I tried this system of public funding. It is true. It is in my notes and in the books in the library.
I also wanted to answer the member for Témiscamingue. Earlier he said that nine individuals had contributed to his campaign fund in 1993. In the 1984 elections, I received $8,015 from individuals. In 1988, $23,870; in 1993, $1,950. In these three elections, I received $33,835 from 198 individuals.
In 1984, from business, I received $17,940; in 1988, nothing; and in 1993, $9,400. I received $27,340 from 126 businesses. That means I was a better candidate. I got 198 donations from individuals and 126 from businesses. That is a matter of record. It is in the library.
I want to return to the comments by the member for Lévis and what the Liberal member for Gatineau said on funding. It is true, but we should go a little lower than $5,000. If there were a free vote in the House, I would be the first to vote in favour, because I think it is a fine method. You look to the people and find the way to improve.
