Mr. Speaker, I already said in my speech earlier that there have to be limits on third party advertising. If there are not, then certainly the spirit of the law is broken. There has to be a level playing field regardless of whether one is running as a candidate for a political party, as an independent or whatever. If there is no limit on third party advertising, it does not create a level playing field. Therefore, we as a Parliament have to figure out a way to limit third party advertising.
I also would like to say that I am glad that the member made the comment about the expenses of the member from British Columbia as well, because I can bet dollars to doughnuts he accepted that public money even though he is against the principle.
