In such an arrangement, the CCF would be free to introduce its own proposals, ask questions, call for information, and discuss and criticize government policy. The CCF for its part, however, agreed to contest only those seats in which candidates had already been nominated. Although no one could prevent the nomination of candidates by independent-minded constituency associations, such candidates were not to be officially endorsed by the CCF provincial council.
