Enhance transparency in the political fundraising system for Cabinet members, party leaders and leadership candidates.

What success looks like

A more transparent political fundraising system is in place that strengthens trust and confidence in Canada's democratic institutions.

Government's narrative on progress

In May 2017 the government introduced legislation to significantly enhance transparency in the political fundraising system. This legislation came into force in December 2018, and applies to Cabinet members, party leaders and leadership candidates. It gives Canadians more information than ever before about who is going to fundraisers, when and where they are happening, and the amount required to attend.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
