My impression between 2001 and 2005 was that there was no increase in campaign activity. I mentioned earlier that many candidates in British Columbia didn't even file their nomination documents until the last day, so they lost an opportunity for a couple of weeks of campaigning that they would otherwise have had.
My impression is that the campaign in 2001 and 2005 was of a similar duration. Although the public and media had expressed some concern that there might be rampant and uncontrolled campaigning and campaign spending, we saw no evidence of this in British Columbia.
