Mr. Speaker, this is an example of a loophole. I want to thank my colleague for her commitment to our democracy as well.
With respect to longest ballot initiatives, let us be frank about this. There was repeated targeting of the Leader of the Opposition in this regard, whether in Carleton or in Battle River—Crowfoot. There was also targeting of the by-election in Terrebonne. Voters have been, I think, resoundingly saying in all those cases and others that they do not like these ballots. For persons with disabilities, they are a barrier to voting. For the administration, volunteers and election officials, right up to and including the Chief Electoral Officer, they are a major hassle.
What we are saying is that if someone wants to run in an election, as all of us have and will, they need a single financial agent who can be the financial agent for only one candidate.
