Reallocation of Paid Time Allocated to a Deregistered Party
Pursuant to subsection 340(1) of the Canada Elections Act, if a registered party to which broadcasting time has been allocated is subsequently deregistered, I am required to convene the representatives of the remaining registered parties and eligible parties to which broadcasting time has been allocated for the purpose of reallocating the deregistered party's broadcasting time.
The First Peoples National Party of Canada was deregistered as of July 31, 2013, which led to a deduction of seven minutes from the total broadcasting time allocation.
In view of this, on July 22, 2013, I sent a notice to all the parties to convene the parties by conference call in order to discuss the reallocation of the time in question.
In that notice, I proposed to reallocate the seven minutes by simply adding thirty seconds to the time allocated to the 14 parties receiving the smallest amount of time. Under this proposal, the remaining four parties would be unaffected.
The conference call took place on July 31, 2013. Seven parties participated in the call and all of them supported my proposal.
Accordingly, I have adopted the proposal as set forth in the notice of July 22, 2013. The resulting allocation is set out in the appendix to the attached order.
