2024 Special General Meeting
Meeting on Co-Leadership
G23-B005 3-year term on Federal Council. Bonser Results: 67.1%
To ensure greater stability of the Party's governing body and preserve institutional memory, replace "two (2) years" in bylaw 2.1.5.2 with "three (3) years" in order to increase the term of office of Federal Council members, with the exception of the Party Leader.
Change Bylaw 2.1.5.2 to read as follows:
2.1.5.2 All members of Federal Council are elected for a term of three (3) years or until the election of their successor, with the exception of the Party Leader whose term is defined in bylaw 2.1.5.3.
*Current Bylaw 2.1.5.5 becomes Bylaw 2.1.5.3.
Remove current bylaws 2.1.5.3 and 2.1.5.4 (see below) and advise Federal Council to create a process for a staggered Federal Council election process.
2.1.5.3 In odd-numbered years, the representatives of Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta, the Territories, the First Nations, the President and the Francophone Vice-President will be elected.
2.1.5.4 In even-numbered years, the representatives of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, the English-speaking Vice-President, the Inuit representative, the Métis representative and the Fund representative will be elected.
