Mr. Speaker, this is nonsense. Canadians would be able to contribute up to $10,000 to any party, or candidates or associations that they like, the aggregate thereof, for one party.
Second, the hon. member is pretending that Canadians do not subsidize political parties and the process now. I would like to know, did his party give back the money that it got in the last election? I would guess that it did not. It kept the money.
