Note: These figures include
all candidates officially registered for the Liberal and Conservative
Parties. Please note that after the official registration deadline, Mr
Harper announced that one of his party's candidates would not be
allowed to sit as a Conservative if he were elected, because of alleged
wrongdoing; See the CTV news item about
Derek Zeisman, who is a candidate in the riding of British
Columbia Southern Interior. Mr Martin also announced that one
Liberal candidate would also be excluded from the Liberal caucus,
because of alleged wrongdoing; See the CBC news item about
David Oliver who is a candidate in the BC riding of
Abbotsford. Both individuals remained as official candidates in the
election because the deadline had passed to withdraw nominations.
