“This bill does not stop foreign money from going to outside political groups. Why did the government leave those loopholes open so foreign money can still influence our elections?”
“Mr. Speaker, the government had an opportunity with this bill to close significant loopholes with respect to foreign money flowing into registered third parties. The bill would fail to close those loopholes. Why did the government refuse to close those loopholes? Why would this bill, if it goes forward, allow for foreign money to continue to be funnelled into third parties to influence Canadian elections?”
