Procedure and House Affairs committee Yes, the limits should all be looked at.
June 5th, 2018Committee meeting
Duff Conacher
Procedure and House Affairs committee Yes, and also the limits for parties.

Duff Conacher
Procedure and House Affairs committee Yes. You don't have to limit it if a political finance system is democratic. The donation limit should be $100, or $200 at most.

June 5th, 2018Committee meeting
Duff Conacher
Procedure and House Affairs committee Well, there are some measures for accessibility to the polls. Lowering the voter ID barrier is fine, but I didn't think it was a huge issue.
