EDMONTON – Alberta is introducing new rules to try to keep third parties from end-running or abusing political fundraising rules.
Labour Minister Christina Gray says Bill 32 is in keeping with the government’s promise to get big money out of politics.
The province has already banned corporate and union donations to political parties and restricted individual donations to $4,000 a year.
Gray says her bill responds to the rise in recent years of political action committees, which can raise funds on their own while linking up with specific political parties or candidates.
