Mr. Speaker, in 2006, we ended big business and big union political contributions through the Federal Accountability Act. We believe that money for political activities should come from ordinary Canadians who choose to donate, not big corporations, not big unions and not government.
That is why our government continued to take action by ending the direct subsidy to political parties.
Could the Minister of State for Democratic Reform update the House on how much money taxpayers are saving through this initiative?
