Correction...to eliminate corporate and union influence all the while making sure they still had money flowing into the party bank account.
They "reformed" the corporate and union donations and influence but in doing so they realised they were going to kill there own fundraising so brought in the money per vote legislation.
Just as I'm sure Harper wanting to eliminate that had nothing to do with hamstringing his opponents I'm sure the Liberals brought it in with no thought towards the fact they stood to gain the most from such legislation.
