Mr. Speaker, Canada's Chief Electoral Office testified today that the unfair elections act proposed by the Conservatives would in fact allow them to dress up campaign advertising as fundraising appeals to get around all existing campaign spending limits in the next election.
Mr. Mayrand said this change would make it “difficult, if not impossible to enforce” spending limits altogether.
This is exactly what we have been saying since day one. The only reason that the Conservatives are doing this is to stack the deck for the next election.
What other reason could there be?
