According to the Globe and Mail, Canada's election law dictates that no one may donate more than $1,100, in total, to help candidates in a single leadership race. So, if a Liberal supporter gave $1,100 to one of Hall Findlay's competitors, they are not permitted to give money to her.

It is a rule that was imposed retroactively by the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper. When the 2006 Liberal leadership campaign began, every donor was allowed to contribute $5,400 and the candidates budgeted and borrowed accordingly.

According to the Globe, there is talk that the Conservative government is planning on changing the rules again, allowing contributions of $1,100 per year. But there is no indication that it will be applied retroactively.
