449. Whenever the appointment of certain election officers must be made upon the recommendation of the Prime Minister, such recommendation may be validly made in his name by his executive secretary or any other person designated by the Prime Minister; when the appointment must be made by the leader of the official opposition, it may be validly made in his name by his secretary or by any other person designated by the leader of the official opposition. Such recommendations are made by letter sent to the returning-officer.
The authorizations required under section 228 signed in the name of the Prime Minister as a candidate by his executive secretary, or in the name of the leader of the official opposition as a candidate by his secretary, shall be valid if the executive secretary or secretary, by letter sent to the returning-officer, was authorized for such purpose by the Prime Minister or the leader of the official opposition. The authorizations so signed shall be deemed to be signed by the candidate.
