Parties that field fewer than 308 candidates and parties that field fewer than 50 candidates in the last election were only entitled to receive lists for those ridings where they fielded candidates in the last election. They're not entitled to receive lists for where they want to field candidates at the next election.
The Green Party brought this to our attention and a few others. They intend to broaden their scope, but the statute prevents me from facilitating their task, which puts them at a disadvantage to those parties represented around this table that field 308 candidates. So it's a matter of equity. They would still be bound, in the use of the lists, to what is legal purpose.
