OTTAWA, July 3, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Supreme Court of Canada ruled June 27 that the federal election act, which requires that a political party run candidates in fifty ridings in order to be registered as an official party, is unconstitutional. Canadian Alliance Elections Act Critic Ted White commented on the ruling saying, “With the exception of the Liberal Party, all parties have agreed that the requirement to achieve official party status should have been set at 12 candidates, as that is the minimum for recognition as a party in the House of Commons.
