Only two candidates in the Liberal Leadership Race – Mark Carne and Ruby Dhala – their funds.
A political transparency advocate says that this is an “trap” in the rules for funding political campaigns that need to be closed – because some contenders raised funds without publicly disclosed or present.
Carne reported eight funds in the election Canada during the two-month race, while the Dhalla-whose party finally disclosed the race.
But Cristia Freeland – who held several funds collected programs during the race – and candidates Frank Bellis and Kareena gold have not added any information to the public advertisement list.
Leadership candidates and political parties must disclose their funds in advance if they meet certain conditions – if, for example, at least one person has to pay more than $ 200 to collect funds. If they break the advertisement rule, they have given back the money.
A fund collected on February 10 at the Eventbrit in Toronto’s Etobicock field, Freeland, said that the “recommended donation amount” was between $ 500 and 7 1,750.

“This is a trap that allows anyone to go without disclosure and lobby (candidates),” said Duff Konacher, “
He said that people have the right to know who is planning, planning and paying in all programs so that the accession of politicians can be found by donation. He said that this prevents the appearance of the conflict of interest from the “policy-making decisions to stigmatize politicians”.
The Liberal government passed the Bill C -50 in 2018, in response to a wave of criticism of the tactic, in response to a wave of valuable funds showing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other cabinet ministers, in response to a fundraising requirement.
“Funding the whole reason for the act .This was to find out the events and who participates.”
Ottawa -based lawyer Scott Therlo, a Canadian election law expert, said that they would not describe this as “escape” as the rules were designed in this way.
“Parliament made a deliberate decision to do that,” he said. “If a person pays $ 200, they have to count the contributors who do so.”
The rules say that parties and candidates have a month after the funds are being collected, which is considered a regulatory event to disclose the names of the people present. If the fundraiser is considered a regulatory event if it is the leading candidates, party leaders or prominent people, such as Cabinet Ministers.
