Mr. Speaker, I commend my colleague opposite on her speech.
When she spoke earlier, the Bloc Québécois House leader, the member for Saint-Jean, addressed the issue of political party funding. She said that there is a zero-cost solution to improve democratic rules. She also talked about the possibility of making funding more equitable, particularly by eliminating the political contributions tax credit, which is currently costing the government money. If we were to do away with it, then that money could be redistributed based on votes. That way, rather than having to rely solely on how deep their supporters' pockets are, the parties would have the funding they need to make their voices heard and to run election campaigns that are more in line with the democratic will expressed by voters.
Does my colleague think that is a good idea?
