On April 1, 2024, Elections Canada published the updated limits on expenses for regulated activities of third parties involved in federal elections in Canada.

The Canada Elections Act imposes a limit on expenses a third party can incur for regulated political activities.

For the period of April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, a third party is prohibited from incurring overall election advertising expenses of a total amount of more than $602,700 during a general election.

The previous limit was $579,950.

For the same period of April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, a third party is prohibited from incurring election advertising expenses in a given electoral district of a total amount of more than $5,166 during a general election.

The previous limit was $4,971.

Adjustments are made annually based on a formula of a base amount multiplied by the inflation adjustment factor in effect for the period.
