Mr. Speaker, putting a $500 limit on political donations and restoring public funding for political parties based on votes received would reduce lobbyists' influence over the government. The Liberals obviously do not want that.
It would prevent the use of front men, which is something we have become accustomed to under the Liberals and the Conservatives. It would also prevent a judge from being appointed for giving the Liberals over $300,000.
We are fed up with patronage. Voters have the right to demand a fair democratic system and public funding for political parties.
When will this government do something? Are the Liberals waiting for members of the Bloc Québécois to give them money for their Liberalist database?
