Funding for what? They don't need to campaign for re-election. They are paid a salary and are given an expense account. What funding do they receive from the Liberal party?

If Trudeau is pre-emptively distancing himself, that is a whole other issue and should be easy to spot. If he is really genuinely trying to remove partisan influence though I think its great.
Considering that Trudeau voted against ending partisan practices in the Senate last October, I am having a difficult time believing the sincerity of this. An empty gesture by an empty suit.
