Justin Trudeau said he welcomes amendments from opposition parties to his government's proposed reforms to laws governing federal political parties and elections. The prime minister is stressing his openness to amendments in response to Conservative demands that government advertising and ministerial travel be limited in the three months preceding an election call. Scheer also said the bill does nothing to stop advocacy groups from using foreign money to influence the outcome of elections. Trudeau said he's open to "reasoned" amendments on that front as well. Conservatives and New Democrats, however, are accusing the government of "bullying" opposition parties by threatening to impose time limits on debate over C-76.
