Unfortunately, the party has been loathe to give out this information in any contest I've monitored (2002, 2004, 2009) and I doubt that will change due to what you point out -- some ridings only have around 10 members while others have hundreds. My only advice, if you are a member of the OPC, is to push for the reforms you are looking for at the upcoming policy convention in Ottawa next March.
