The Coalition Avenir Québec party says it’s prepared to end citizen donations to political parties, after controversies about its members’ fundraising practices.

Jean-François Roberge, the minister responsible for democratic institutions, raised that possibility today after several CAQ members were accused of soliciting $100 donations to the party from mayors hoping to meet with ministers.
