So did the Conservative Party pay the $90,000? NO.
Now if a cheque was written on the funds bank account, then you'd have a story... but it wasn't so there isn't ... other than make believe and what if by journalists and others who want to stir the pot by throwing a few red herrings into it.
And by the way, did Harper and Wright do something illegal when they set up this fund which by the way are from contributions to the CPC? I've certainly contributed to the CPC and there wasn't any stipulation that the $20 I gave was to be solely spent on election expenses...
Are you saying that other parties don't have funds like this... assuming that is that they have money which in Liberal case probably isn't true. No I don't think so.
So I would have to assume that your problem is that Harper has and Wright did, have signing authority. I have no problem with that. If they abuse their signing authority then they would have to answer to the CPC itself. Its money that belongs to the CPC, not the government of Canada or the taxpayer.
