Mr. Speaker, I cannot help thinking that, by changing the rules on political party financing, we are opening the door to private donations.
As everyone can see here today, the NDP has many women and many young people in its caucus. I myself would not have been able to get a loan. I was a substitute teacher. We will not have any diversity in Parliament if we create such strict requirements and favour certain groups. Thus, I see a link between the political party financing that was eliminated and campaign financing.
I wonder if my colleague could expand on that a little more.
