In total, candidates will need to raise $300,000 to stay in the contest, with $100,000 of that a refundable deposit for following the rules correctly. Candidates will also need 3,000 endorsements from party members spread across at least 30 ridings and seven provinces. The race formally begins on Monday. The deadline to enter is Feb. 27, by when candidates must submit a $25,000 fee instalment and the first 1,000 party member signatures.
