The Conservative Party has reversed its position on allowing prepaid credit cards to buy party memberships, after the campaign for leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre insinuated potential legal action.

The party’s executive director Wayne Benson made the announcement in a memo sent to campaigns on April 14, reported Global News. Benson said it would be applied to both membership purchases and donations.
