Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, the exception is only for an appreciation event that is part of a convention. All other appreciation events are covered by the bill. It's at line 4, on page 3.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, Mr. Reid, both amendments would add a notice to Elections Canada, so they have the same goal. They're identical in terms of practical effect.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The motion in LIB-2 sets out the obligation to provide a notice separate from the obligation to advertise instead of putting them together, so it'll be easier from an enforcement perspective that the two obligations are separate, because then the offences are separate as well.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes. Every regulated fundraising event needs to be advertised five days in advance with the name of the minister or party leader who is coming. If there's a change to the information in the notice, there is an obligation to update. If there's a change in ministers three days in a

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The notice needs to be updated as soon as feasible once there's a change, and if the change happens after the event started—that is, once the notice is no longer valid—they need to be in the report.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Could we see what Mr. Reid has proposed?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The suggested amendment would not add any advertising requirement, because that's a separate provision. What it would do is make the 30-day reporting requirement apply during an election, and at the same time the requirement to file a report after an election within 60 days would

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The proposed subsections afterward in the bill—384.3(8), 384.3(9), 384.3(10), 384.3(11), 384.3(12)—all deal with reporting after an election, so those subsections would have to be removed.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, that's the result. Persons employed in organizing the event, including waiters and media as well, would now be published.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Right now, organizers have the obligation to tell political parties the information they need to file their reports, but if the organizers become aware of a change in that information, they're not obligated to tell the party, and the party, not knowing, can't update the report. T

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Could I ask you to repeat that, please?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It's a very good question. Unfortunately, it's unclear to me which of those would apply as it's currently drafted, because it says “obtained by committing the offence”. It's a little unclear. It would depend how Elections Canada interprets the provision.
