Delegate Costs/Assistance
The delegate is responsible for:
The payment the delegate fee of $650 (early-bird rate) to Conservative Party of Canada. This fee is considered a political donation and thus will yield a tax credit of $425 for an out-of-pocket cost of $225; plus
The cost of travel, accommodation and meals.
The Association will provide a stipend to bring the cost, after tax rebates, down to approximately $1000 to $1300 depending on the expenses incurred by the delegate. Details will be provided to the elected delegates.
