Patenaude and deregistered on November 14 1998 for failing to have at least ten candidates stand for election.

Their official agent is Mary-Gabrielle Blay II. [cite web|url = http://www.particitron.vze.com/|title = Parti Citron's official website]

Their 2004 national convention produced a platform of policies which were "placed in small green plastic boxes and sold to industrial pig farms in Mexico", according to a large party spokeswoman. The subsequent electoral campaign, under the slogan "For a bitter Canada," received minor, but sympathetic, media coverage.cite news|url = http://www.cbc.ca/canadavotes2004/analysiscommentary/columns/danbrown190604.html|title = Analysis & Commentary: The Heirs of the Rhino Party|author = Dan Brown|date = 19 June 2004|publisher = Canadian Broadcasting Corporation] The Lemon Party prides itself on its record on fiscal discipline and in pushing for economic growth. Their economic plan was allegedly authored by Montreal economist Ianik Marcil.

The Lemon Party has not been officially registered as a political party since the early 1990s, when it was registered only in Quebec.
