moved for leave to introduce Bill C-279, an act to amend the Canada Elections Act (election expenses).
Mr. Speaker, this bill, when adopted, would remove the ability of political parties and candidates to get the taxpayers to subsidize their election activities. Consistent with Reform policy, it would remove the reimbursement provisions of the elections act which returns taxpayers' money to political candidates and parties.
