Continuous Motion Development

This section is where you provide the rationale or context for the collaborative draft. Aim to be factual, not speculative. Briefly identify the problem. This section is the equivalent of Whereas Statements. You do not have to use Whereas Statements.

This section is where the policy statement is entered. Public policy should be written to allow Green Party of Canada MPs the flexibility to choose any appropriate strategy or tactic to achieve the desired outcome. The policy statement is the only section of the policy that will be entered into the Green Policy Book.

Public policy that the party would represent

This section is used to identify the benefit or goal of the policy statement, and why or how this policy is of benefit to Canadians.

Before submitting a policy to the Continuous Motion Development process, check the Green Book to ensure you are not submitting a duplicate or overlapping policy. If this policy revises, replaces or removes an existing policy, identify the policy and the the impact. Example: replaces G22-P106, revises G22-P106, rescinds G22-P106.

This section is used to identify up to 5 references to support this collaborative draft. Strong references are free of bias and backed with evidence. Try to use primary sources (first hand evidence) or information. The CRAAP test is helpful to evaluate the credibility of the source: Currency: Is the source up-to-date? Relevance: Is the source relevant to your research? Authority: Where is the source published? Who is the author? Are they considered reputable and trustworthy in their field? Accuracy: Is the source supported by evidence? Are the claims cited correctly? Purpose: What was the motive behind publishing this source? Avoid using videos that contain clips that have been extracted from the original source, as the secondary source may lack important context and could present biased information. Best practice to post the original video.

This section is used to identify the stakeholder engagement usedto develop the policy.
