Manitoba Tories See 70 Percent Cut in Donations After Law
The Manitoba PC Party reports donations fell 70 percent after a 2001 law banning corporate contributions to parties took effect in January. The NDP also saw a drop but smaller at 37 percent, while party officials blame the legislation for weakening Tory fundraising ahead of the next election. Elections Manitoba shows the PCs received just over 392000 in 2001, down from 1.28 million the prior year.

The NDP posted a $12,000 surplus in 2001, bringing their current surplus to $276,295 as donations dwindle and Tory events fail to attract.
