Mr. Speaker, point number one, the NDP excluded all fundraising expenses from its own leadership race, a position against which it is arguing right now.
Second, the Chief Electoral Officer is wrong on this point, as well as on other points. The bill we are bringing forward, the fair elections act, would require that all mass-calling scripts and all autodial scripts be kept for a year, so they can be available for investigators to examine them.
Finally, there would be external audits, which would allow the auditor to determine if money was spent on fundraising calls versus other calls.
There would be also a purpose section in this particular provision of the bill.
There are many layers of protection.
