Mr. Speaker, that is a great question. I cannot answer why it was not in there. I am not on the committee, so I have not been studying this, but I would agree with the member. The more we can take money out of politics, the better we can position ourselves to have a fair and open democracy. The reasons that may not have been the case would probably be better asked of the members on the committee, but I have always been a believer that taking money out of politics is a way to have a safer political system and safer elections that are more open and dependent on the people as opposed to money.
