Comment

Requirements only apply to those candidates who are appointed a member or alternate member of the parliament. Other candidates' campaign finances are not regulated by the law. 

Section 8  "A person who, following an election, has been appointed a member or alternate member must submit a revenue statement for the calendar year in which the election took place and for every calendar year or part thereof in which they hold that office".
