“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my dear friend, the member for Saanich—Gulf Islands, for her question. I would simply say that my view of this piece of legislation is that it is intended to deal with imminent threats and challenges facing Canada’s electoral system. I do not feel at this time that the suggestion by my hon. colleague with regard to the way in which parties are financed would fall under the scope of this piece of legislation but, perhaps, under a future piece of legislation. In this particular case, I do not feel that it is relevant at this time.”
