Mr. Speaker, that is an important question. I fully agree with the hon. member who just asked that question.
I began my speech by talking about the Canadian system we have created. In my riding, we can spend roughly up to $80,000. When I talk about this situation with my American colleagues, they cannot believe that the Canadian system is like that, but it is. There is a ceiling on contributions from individuals and we do not get money from corporations or unions, just from individuals.
That is the system the Prime Minister of Canada does not accept. He wants to create a system in which money can buy anything, where nothing else matters but money.
I am convinced that the system we have created in Canada is good and that we must do everything in our power to maintain it.
