Financial Updates and Call for Donation

There is not much to report on the financial side. There is a pending audit for our financial return but the cost is normally reimbursed by Election Canada. Please e-mail [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns. Here is last month's financial status update [Link to the financial status].
Real-time Update: Looks like we just got a $400 donation. Pending confirmation and settlement. Thanks to our generous donor.

Please donate to the party to help us prepare for a successful 2015 General Election campaign. Running a successful campaign requires lots of money. The more funds means more Canadians can learn about our policies and what we stand for. That could also translate to more recruits to run as candidates.
