The Parliamentary Centre organized a week-long knowledge exchange visit to Ottawa by a delegation from Mongolia comprising two parliamentary staff and the Deputy Auditor General of Mongolia. The group were members of a working group on amending the political party law of the country. They were specifically interested in Canada’s political party and political finance regulations and enforcement.
In particular, our country’s regulations on political party registration, limits on donations, and financial reporting were seen as useful experiences to consider in finding ways to address challenges with corruption and transparency that have led to steady decline of public trust in political parties in Mongolia in recent years. The visit was also the Centre’s first activity aligned with our new mandate to support the strengthening of the governance of political parties.
