381. (1)  During an election, no person other than the official agent of a candidate or of a recognized party shall incur or authorize election expenses.

(2)  It is forbidden for any person to accept or execute an order for election expenses not given or authorized by such an official agent or in his name by his publicity agency recognized by the director general of elections.

(3)  No person shall claim or receive for election expenses a price different from his regular price for similar work or merchandise outside the election period, nor shall he accept a different remuneration or renounce the same.

(4)  Any individual may however contribute without remuneration his personal services and the use of his vehicle provided that he does so freely and not as part of his work in the service of an employer.

(5)  A candidate may himself pay his personal expenses incurred on the occasion of an election, up to the amount of two thousand dollars. Subject to paragraphs c, d and e of subsection 2 of section 380, the expenses he may so pay shall form part of his election expenses but must not include any publicity and the candidate must send a detailed statement thereof to his official agent.

(6)  Subject to section 58 of the Civil Service Act (chapter F-3), nothing in this section relates to the services rendered by a functionary of the civil service.

(7)  At general elections only, the official agent of a recognized party may, for as long as no candidate of his party has filed his nomination-paper and before the day fixed for the nomination of candidates, authorize election expenses of a local nature for an amount not exceeding $1,000 and including no publicity. If, at the time of the polling, the recognized party has no official candidate in the electoral district for which such expenses were authorized, such expenses are deemed to have been incurred by the recognized party; in the opposite case, such expenses are deemed to have been authorized by the official agent of the candidate of such party.
