Sounds good, I wonder how they came up with the spending limits - why not go lower to the level Quebec has?  Seems a little arbitrary. I think they still need to go a bit further on regulating 3rd party advertising spending and regulating this at the municipal level as well perhaps with tighter limits as campaigns typically aren't as expensive as provincial or federal election campaigns.  They need to do this before the next series of municipal election in 2018.  Furthermore, I wonder if this is going to somehow going to end up costing the taxpayers - if we limit outside financing (i.e. donations), are taxpayers going to have to ante up money to top up campaign finances for political parties through public tax dollars.  Legislation is not going to make too much difference for the incumbent government as they have access to resources of the government to do a lot of their campaigning but will help small parties like the Greens and make it a bit harder for the BC Liberals to get back in.
