| Description | Nova Scotia's Green party could lose $300,000 in provincial funding and its status as a registered political party.
Green Leader Ryan Watson confirms the party missed an important deadline for handing in financial information to Elections Nova Scotia, as required by law.
On Tuesday, Elections Nova Scotia will report which parties delivered the required statements.
"I'm not aware of any penalties as of this point except of course if we fail to get it in, in which case the party would cease to exist," said Watson.
The party failed to post its 2008 audited financial statements by April 30.
Dana Doiron, spokesperson for Elections Nova Scotia, said political parties must meet several deadlines, so any party that doesn't follow the rules is taking a potentially costly risk. |
