Re: "Duceppe: I am not a quitter" (Gazette, Aug. 13).
While others have advocated ending the per-vote subsidy only for the Bloc Québécois, that is not the position of our Conservative government.
We believe that no party should have its operations supported by this taxpayer subsidy and that all parties should be primarily funded by their supporters. In fact, the Conservative Party would lose the most money should the per-vote subsidy be ended.
To suggest, as your story does, that the government would target a specific party is wrong and a misrepresentation of our view.

This, of course, is some serious bullsh't.
