SUMMARY

This enactment amends the Canada Elections Act by granting to a registered party a reimbursement of a part of its election expenses where at least thirty per cent of the total number of elected candidates endorsed by the party are women.

In such a case, the party will receive a reimbursement equal to the percentage of the total number of elected candidates sponsored by the party who are women, up to fifty-five per cent of the party's election expenses.
