Prime Minister Mark Carney said the national fundraising campaign for the refurbishment of the prime minister’s official residence will place a limit on donations and make the list of donors public to ensure transparency in the project.
Carney said the Rideau Hall Foundation, which is running the fundraising campaign, will make a final decision on donation limits, but his “thinking is the limit would be 10 per cent of the overall amount raised or a specific cap.”
The donations will only be accepted if they are from individual Canadian citizens, permanent residents or philanthropic organizations. Corporations will not be allowed to participate.
