NS debates election finance reform

Nova Scotia New Democrats are filibustering a bill on election finance reform currently being debated in the Nova Scotia legislature.

Proposed reforms would limit donations to political parties to a maximum of $5, 000 per year for individuals and organizations. They would outlaw donations from outside the province.

Nova Scotia New Democrats are proposing a $1,000 per year cap, using the federal electoral finance laws as a model.
