    With per vote funding they get, by definition, a lot less money than the larger parties, making it easier for large parties to get their message out and overwhelm the little ones. Public funding heavily favours the party in power, and has since Chretien implemented it. But per vote funding is an ideologically debateable idea, and cancelling can be a good idea or a bad idea, depending on which side you choose to view.

    By the way, the Conservatives would also lose the most per vote money through this proposal.
