Taxpayers could shell out more than $9 million in cash to political parties and politicians in next election
CALGARY, AB: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is calling on Alberta MLAs to reject the proposed taxpayer subsidy to political parties.
Today (August 10, 2016) in committee, NDP MLA Rod Loyola proposed a motion for taxpayers to rebate 50 per cent of campaign expenses for political parties and candidates receiving 10 per cent (or more) of votes cast.
