Liberal Party of Saskatchewan
failed to file - may be deregistered

Three things jump out at me. First, on the call centre angle, apparently the Sask NDP have taken a page from the Frank McKenna handbook. Second, the Liberals could actually be delisted as a party - what are they doing? Finally, just curious to know how much of the Sask Party money was actually raised in the province? If elected next time, they do realize that it is Saskatchewan and not Alberta that they will govern.
