[edit] Wendell Fields (Hamilton West)
Fields received 61 votes, finishing tenth against Liberal incumbent Stan Keyes.
[edit] Kim Roberge (Ottawa—Vanier)
Roberge listed herself as a receptionist. She also campaigned as a Marxist-Leninist candidate in the 1998 Quebec provincial election, for an Outaouais-area riding.
In 1998, the Ottawa Citizen newspaper interviewed a local resident named Kim Roberge who was participating in the city's International Women's Day activities. She was listed as a twenty-year old sociology student at the University of Ottawa, originally from Notre-Dame-de-Pierreville, Quebec (Ottawa Citizen, 9 May 1998). It is possible that this is the same person.
