Statement on 2016 Provincial Election:

September 6, 2016 - The 2016 Provincial Election Campaign Finance document for Greg Olson, Candidate for Yorkton, was filed on July 28, 2016. Part II, Expenses sub-section (e) Services, number E8, makes reference to Unifor Local 1-S paying the wages for the candidate during the election period. The Local is an employer, registered with the Canada Revenue Agency and can withhold payroll taxes (CPP, EI, Income Tax), the campaign was not a registered employer with the CRA and could not become one. Because of this, the local paid the wages, to Greg Olson, and the employer portions of the CPP and EI during the campaign. The campaign fully reimbursed the local for wages and employer portions of the CPP and EI. If you require further details, please contact Greg Olson. (greg.olson@uniforlocal1s.ca)
