Always read the whole article

Its where the stuff that would be front and center if a conservative had crossed the floor.

"Some critics have suggested the failure of Khan's old association to file financial reports looks like an attempt to cover up the loans. But Khan's association is not alone on that score either.
Twenty-seven riding associations have been deregistered by Elections Canada, including three Liberal associations, two NDP associations, a few fringe party associations and a host of Green Party associations. Failure to file financial reports is cited as the reason for delisting in a number of cases, including Liberal MP Maria Minna's Toronto association.
Minna blamed administrative and technical glitches caused by unfamiliarity with the law for the delay.
Riding associations were not required to file annual, audited reports with Elections Canada until 2004, when political financing reforms went into effect. Minna said her association, like all others, is made up of volunteers who are still trying to learn the complicated new rules.
Consequently, she was careful not to criticize Khan's old association for its tardy filing.
"Obviously, similar things could've happened (in Khan's riding). Who am I to judge?""

Who indeed. Perhaps she might want to pass it on to the rest of her party that should they not get re-registered, they won't be allowed to run a candidate in that riding.

BTW
If the RCMP brings new charges against the LPC over the ongoing investigation into the sponsorship scandal who will they blame if the whole party is deregistered?
