I don't want to encourage Elections Canada to drag its feet in providing the refund, but its representatives may be able to tell you how many associations and candidates have still not received their refunds, since the 18-month deadline for the January 23, 2006 election will soon be upon us. How many associations or candidates have yet to be reimbursed? According to my estimate, there must be more than 100.
Elections Canada could surely provide you with these statistics which will demonstrate that 18 months is far too short a time.
