Federal parties must submit their financial statements for each fiscal year by June 30 of the following year, and the NDP has made repeated requests for extensions
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh responds to a question during a press conference marking the 60th anniversary of the NDP, at the Jack Layton Monument in Toronto on Aug. 3, 2021.The NDP is the only major federal party that has not submitted its 2020 financial statement to Elections Canada and now has an extension to do so before the end of the summer.
“As a possible voter, I would ask the question, if they can’t file their own party financial returns on time, what might they do with a national budget?” Dr. Beange said. She added that it appears be the result of poor management. Of the parties that have not submitted their financial statements for the previous year, five, including the NDP, have extensions. Another was exempt because it was only registered last September. One did not submit a statement.“The NDP’s annual audited statement is still being prepared,” said Jesse Calvert, the party’s deputy national director, in a statement. “We will – and have always – provide Elections Canada with our audited statement as it’s a requirement under the Canada Elections Act.
