经过了几个月强烈的否认后，联邦保守党已经悄悄的承认了它有成千上万的赞助没有向公众报道。
这意味着至少三名保守党成员—包括联邦总理Stephen Harper – 去年的赞助捐款超过法律的限额。

The report does not explain what constitutes "other revenue" or "other expenses." Moreover, the party reports almost $700,000 in previously undisclosed transfers from riding associations, presumably accounting for ridings that helped subsidize the cost of attending the Montreal policy convention for their delegates.
