I say “loan” very suspiciously because if there was an agreement at any time between a candidate and a lender, where the lender said, “I will give you $100,000 for your leadership campaign and don't worry, brother, you'll never have to repay it, because I'll simply write it off”, it would not be a loan; it would be a contribution. That would seriously violate the current election financing and Elections Canada laws with respect to contributions to candidates.
Il s'agirait d'une contribution, ce qui contreviendrait gravement aux règles actuelles sur le financement des élections et aux dispositions d'Élections Canada sur les contributions versées aux candidats.
