Final answer:

The max contribution a Multicandidate PAC can give per election to a candidate is $5,000, while PACs for a single candidate can give $2,900. National party committees including Senatorial committees can give up to $51,200 per Senate candidate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum contribution a Multicandidate Political Action Committee (MFP) can give per election to a candidate is $5,000. This is part of the federal election guidelines intended to ensure a level playing field by requiring candidates to raise funds from a broad pool of contributors. For PACs established for the purpose of donating to only one candidate, the limit is $2,900 per candidate. However, these amounts are subject to change as they are adjusted every two years based on inflation. It is also pertinent to note that national party committees and their Senatorial campaign committees may contribute up to $51,200 combined per campaign to each Senate candidate.
