Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for her question and congratulate her on her re-election.
Political parties can be subsidized in three ways: the per-vote allocation, tax credits for donations and reimbursements for electoral expenses. We believe that these last two ways should be more than sufficient, and we will phase out the per-vote allocation to give political parties time to adapt to the new reality. Abolishing the $2 per vote allocation to political parties will allow us to save Canadian taxpayers close to $30 million.
