• An annual allowance must be payable for the year 1979 and each subsequent year: to every registered political party represented in the Legislative Assembly on the first day of January of each year; and to every registered political party which, although not represented in the Legislative Assembly, had at least 10 official candidates at the immediately preceding general election.
• The annual allowance of each registered political party entitled thereto must be an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the adjusted amount determined in the Act by the total number of valid votes cast for the official candidates of that party at the immediately preceding general election.
• The adjusted amount must be: for the year 1981, $1.30; and for each year subsequent to 1981, the product of $1.30 multiplied by the ratio that the Consumer Price Index for the 12 month period that ended on the 30th day of September next before that year bears to the Consumer Price Index for the 12 month period that ended on the 30th day of September, 1980.
• The annual allowance must be used by the registered political party to pay the costs of their current administration, to propagate their political programs and to coordinate the political activities of their members.

[E.A., s. 81-83]

• The Chief Electoral Officer must, every year, determine an allowance for each authorized party.
• The allowance must be computed by dividing between the authorized parties, proportionately to the percentage of the valid votes obtained by them at the last general election, a sum equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount of 50¢ by the number of electors entered on the lists of electors used at that election.
• The allowance must be used to reimburse the expenses incurred by the parties for their current administration, the propagation of their political programs and the coordination of the political activities of their members; it must be paid only if the expenses are actually incurred and paid.
