Mr. Speaker, my colleague made a very good speech and provided an explanation of the bill as well.
It is great to have this co-operation with the opposition on moving this bill forward. We would like to see this co-operation on other bills, including the Senate reform bill. We would like that bill to move forward as well.
We cannot blame Canadians for having a perceived sense of undue influence on politicians if they see unions, wealthy individuals or corporations lending money and that money never really being paid back. It is essentially an abuse of a loophole.
How does the member see this bill building and ensuring trust in our democratic institutions?
