New Brunswick far behind other provinces on municipal election finance rules: expert

Province does not require disclosure or spending limits

When it comes to municipal campaign finance, New Brunswick is the least regulated Canadian province, according to an expert on local governance.

And Zack Taylor says that lack of transparency can undermine municipal elections.
"Money shouldn't buy elections," Taylor, the director of the Centre of Urban Policy and Local Governance at the University of Western Ontario, told Shift New Brunswick.

Candidates in New Brunswick municipal elections do not have to disclose campaign contributions, spending limits or who funded them — an odd reality considering rules in place at the provincial and federal levels.

"We would be very uncomfortable as a public in having no disclosure regulation at the federal level, but somehow we think it's OK at the municipal level," Taylor said.

Regulations vary from province to province, he said, with rather lax policies on the East Coast and strict frameworks in central Canada. Quebec has been the leader on this front, ushering in regulations in the 1970s, while Ontario strengthened its rules in 2016.

Taylor said most provinces with laws on the books have some kind of cap on donations and, in some jurisdictions, a cap on spending.

Some provinces ban corporate and union donations and regulate how much a candidate can donate to their campaign. Most frameworks include rules for disclosure.

Should municipal candidates disclose campaign contributions?

Candidates in New Brunswick municipal elections do not have to disclose campaign contributions, spending limits or who funded them. Yet regulations exist in other provinces. Zack Taylor at the University of Western Ontario has studied the differences, and how voters could benefit from more disclosure. 8:58 

"Disclosure is really important," Taylor said. "Disclosing who your donors are and how much they donated is a really important kind of public service that enables the public and watchdogs to keep an eye on the process."

He said regulations help level the playing field and prevent deep-pocketed donors or wealthy candidates from using their financial might to muscle their way into power.

Taylor said reform typically follows one of two occurrences: change to provincial rules or scandal.

"In B.C., there were scandals and that spurred a bit of a cleanup," he said. "In Ontario, there were a lot of concerns over property developers and so on donating to campaigns in ways that gave them outsized influence. That lead to a tightening up there."

New Brunswick's quadrennial municipal elections will take place in communities across the province on May 11.

• Without rules, municipal candidates must decide whether to reveal donors

• Secrecy may remain for 2020 municipal election spending, despite promised reform

Prior to the 2018 provincial election, the previous Liberal government had said it would introduce new rules, but the Progressive Conservative government that took power in the fall of 2018 has not implemented the regulations necessary for the spring vote.

That leaves it to individual candidates to decide whether to disclose information.

In Moncton, the first two candidates to declare in the province's largest city say they're not going to publicly reveal who is funding their campaign.

The New Brunswick Department of Environment and Local Government did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.

Methinks folks can bet thin Canadian dimes to fat Yankee petrodollars that I called and introduced myself to the Professor Zack Taylor It should prove interesting to see if he responds to my email N'esy Pas?

Methinks nobody should be surprised New Brunswick has existed since 1784 and it does not even have a constitution yet That why Hatfield and McKenna had the Feds alter their Constitution for linguistic issues to assist in their reelections N'esy Pas? 












Fred Brewer
This is ridiculous and needs to be fixed ASAP. Mr. Higgs why has this not been done? Please sir, try to defend the secrecy of municipal political donations, I dare you. Making public the donor's list is the only way voters can have some assurance that the elected officials will not favour those who donated heavily to their campaigns. Get 'er done!

Why is it this way, can they at least give us an answer, or is this like NBEPC and Auditing. Might be a story here, CBC. Funny.

Research Interests

Professor Taylor specializes in urban political economy and Canadian and comparative politics and policymaking, with an empirical focus on historical and contemporary multi-level governance of cities. He also pursues parallel interests in municipal campaigns and elections, local public finance, and political geography. Professor Taylor is the first director of Western’s recently launched Centre for Urban Policy and Local Governance. He is a non-practicing Registered Professional Planner in the province of Ontario and Fellow at the Institute on Municipal Finance and Governance at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs.

Graduate Supervision

Professor Taylor is excited to work with Political Science and Public Administration graduate students on a wide range of topics, including local and metropolitan governance, multi-level governance, public administration, urban politics, urban planning, ideas and institutions, and political geography.

Current Research Projects

1. Place and Politics

This project employs spatial analysis techniques to examine, first, how urban location and neighbourhood characteristics may influence electoral behaviour in local, provincial, and national elections, and second, how the relative spatial clustering of immigrant communities within ridings may drive political party strategy in national elections. This project was awarded an Insight Development Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council in 2016.

2. The City in Comparative Political Development

Building on a growing American literature that examines the role of urbanization in American Political Development (APD), this project investigates urbanization as a motivator of change in Canadian politics and the national political economy since Confederation.

3. The Politics of Regional Planning Policy in Toronto

Ontario's Greenbelt Plan (2005) and Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2006) are considered to be among the most ambitious regional land-use planning programs yet attempted in the industrialized West. This project seeks to understand why this policy was adopted while previous attempts over the past 40 years faltered, where the policy ideas came from, and what political dynamics and compromises led to the plan’s general acceptance by stakeholder groups and different branches and levels of government. In addition, the project assesses the prospects for the plans’ successful implementation in the context of ongoing political change.

Shuttleworth remembered as ‘friend and generous philanthropist’

March 28, 2018 By Keri Ferguson

Western is mourning the passing of Lorraine (Ivey) Shuttleworth, who died on March 15, at the age of 98.
“We will remember Lorraine as a wonderful friend and generous philanthropist, who supported our students, faculty and researchers,” Western President Amit Chakma said. “The impact of her generosity will continue as part of her legacy here at Western.”


Shuttleworth made significant contributions to Western personally, and as President of The Richard and Jean Ivey Fund.

Since the inception of the Lorraine Ivey Shuttleworth Continuing Awards in 1999, 175 students have received a total of more than $1.5 million to complete their undergraduate studies at Western.

Shuttleworth’s interest in health research was reflected in gifts made in support of the Richard and Jean Ivey Fund Chair in Molecular Toxicology; the Ramsay W. Gunton Professorship in Cardiology; and the Heart and Stroke Foundation/Barnett-Ivey Chair at Robarts Research Institute.  She also supported many other areas across campus, including the renovation of the Paul Davenport Theatre in 2008, and the construction of the new Ivey Business School.

Shuttleworth was the daughter of the late Richard Green Ivey, LLD’54, and Jean Macaulay. She was the sister of Richard M. Ivey, HBA’47, LLD’79, and the late Pauline Ivey de Gueugnier. She was mother to Martha J. Shuttleworth and Nan Shuttleworth, BA’65.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. May 4, at St. John the Evangelist Church, 280 St. James St., London.
