“Potential candidate” is already defined in the act. I don't have it in front of me—I'm sorry—but on the changes you're referring to, where there are new protections for nomination and leadership contestants or contests, certain measures are not being limited to the election period. The limitation on during the election period would be removed. Consequently, that would include potential candidates and eligible parties. The actors who operate outside of an election also would be captured.
Those consequential amendments to those provisions are to ensure that all the actors who operate, not just during an election, would be captured. They are prohibited at all times.
