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.# W; N8 S* Z9 p5 M1 q
