Standing Parties in the House of Commons Liberal Canadian Alliance Bloc Qu�b�cois N.D.P. Progressive Conservative What is a political party? The Act does not attempt to define or describe a political party. Generally speaking, a political party is a group of people who together establish a constitution, elect a leader and other officers, and endorse candidates for election to the House of Commons. The Act uses the following terms: eligible party: a party that has applied for registration under the Act, but has yet to fulfill some of the conditions to become a registered party registered party: a party is registered under the Act if it succeeds in endorsing 50 or more confirmed candidates in a general election and meets certain other conditions suspended party: a registered party whose registration has been suspended because it has failed to maintain, at a subsequent election, the conditions to keep its status as a registered party.
