Canada election expense reimbursements spark taxpayer furor
The 1997 federal election will cost taxpayers about 16.5 million in reimbursements to 801 candidates, a 11 percent rise from 1993. Top Manitoba totals include Liberal averages around 23,776 and PC averages 24,336, with party subsidies tied to vote shares. Critics call for ending candidate and party reimbursements, arguing funds flow to well funded candidates and skew politics.
