Continuous Motion Development
Online proposal development for the Green Party of Canada
EXAMPLE: Title of Policy Proposal
- Introductory Text
- This section is where you provide the rationale or context for the policy. 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.
- Proposal Statement (operative clause)
- 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 (operative clause) is the only section of the Policy Proposal that will be entered into the Member Approved Policy (Green Book).
- Type of Proposal
- Public policy that the party would represent
- Objective / Benefit
- 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.
- If your proposal replaces an existing policy or policies, which one does it replace?
- Before submitting a policy to CMD, check the Green Book to ensure you are not submitting a duplicate or overlapping policy. If this policy proposal revises, replaces or removes an existing policy, identify the policy and the the impact. Example: replaces G22-P106, revises G22-P106, rescinds G22-P106.
- List any supporting evidence for your proposal
- This section is used to identify up to 5 references to support the policy proposal Strong references are free of bias and backed by evidence. Try to use primary sources (first hand evidence) or information. This applies to articles, research and videos. The CRAAP test is helpful to evaluate the credibility of the source (reference): 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. It is better practice to post the original video.
- Does this proposal affect any particular group and what efforts have been made to consult with the group or groups?
- This section is used to identify the stakeholder engagement used to develop the policy.
- Jurisdiction: Is this proposal under federal jurisdiction?
- Yes
- Please indicate the language the proposal is being submitted in.
- English
