The Liberals introduced the legislation amid allegations they were selling access to cabinet ministers at high-priced dinners and receptions. Premier Kathleen Wynne scrambled to defuse rising criticism about fundraising quotas of up to $500,000 each for Liberal cabinet ministers.
"There is absolutely nothing in this legislation that will stop or even limit the cash-for-access system that it appears the Liberals have had in place for years," said party deputy leader Steve Clark. "We are concerned they have left this loophole in because they know how effective it is for their coffers, and they have no desire to end this practice moving forward."
