Vancouver City Council |
MOTION ON NOTICE
Submitted by Councillor Sullivan for consideration at the Regular Council meeting on September 9, 2003.
2. Financial Disclosure
MOVER: Councillor Sullivan
SECONDER:
WHEREAS campaign finance disclosure is essential in ensuring political decisions are made with openness and transparency and is vital to maintaining confidence in government;
Campaign finance disclosure rules seek to ensure that all candidates and electoral organizations fully disclose their election campaign contributions so that all political decisions are transparent;
There appears to be some lack of clarity around the procedures of proper reporting, especially for contributions to the 2002 campaign made after the election;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that Vancouver City Council endorses the principle that all candidates and electoral organizations disclose contributions to support the 2002 campaign including those that were made after the election;
AND THAT staff clarify the issues and procedures around proper reporting related to this principle for the 2002 election campaign so that all conditions and electoral organizations can ensure they are in compliance.
