Christian Heritage Party Leader Jim Hnatiuk gave party members in New Brunswick an overview of the party’s progress during the weekend at the Hugh John Flemming Forestry Complex in Fredericton.
FREDERICTON, New Brunswick – Christian Heritage Party (CHP) Leader Jim Hnatiuk, in Fredericton Saturday to rally the party faithful during the federal party’s first provincial meeting in New Brunswick, said he wants to see CHP candidates in every riding.
“We want to have 308 candidates, one for every riding in Canada. In the last election, we had 59,” said Mr. Hnatiuk. “The national office and the New Brunswick EDA [Electoral District Association] in Tobique–Mactaquac will help you organize in your area if you want to get an EDA off the ground.”

The 6,000-member-strong Christian Heritage Party, the sixth-largest of the 19 federal parties in Canada, is currently planning for an explosive growth in this province. In New Brunswick, the Christian Heritage Party’s official spokesman, Jason Farris, wants to see that change.
According to Mr. Farris, the party’s goal in this province is to be able to run a candidate in each of the 10 federal ridings in the next election. Saturday, he urged the dozen party members in attendance at the first provincial meeting to support the party both financially and by volunteering.
“In 2002, I got involved with the CHP in Nova Scotia and the party was virtually unknown there then, and in the last federal election we were able to field five candidates,” said Mr. Hnatiuk. “We started off with fewer people than you have here today so don’t be discouraged by numbers.”
“As leader, I want to focus on building the party,” he said.
A Blueprint for Restoration, the Christian Heritage Party’s policy book, calls for smaller government, pro-life legislation, balanced budgets by governments and tougher penalties for criminals.
