19th General Meeting

Whereas​​ many​​ citizens​​ do not have disposable income​​ to influence politics with a donation​​,​​ and whereas​​ the Green party of Canada​​ believes each ​​citizen​​ should have equal financial​​ influence​​ over the Canadian political system​​:​

Be it resolved that​​ the Green party of Canada​​​ favours a political donation​​ system​ ​​​that allows​​ each citizen ​ exclusively an annual​​ fixed​​government funded donation to their party or electoral district Association ​​of choice​​.​ ​​​ An additional​​ donation​​ to an electoral candidate​​ of choice​​ will be an option for each citizen​​.​ ​ The assignment of funds process​​ must be secure and transparent​​

​This motion recognizes​​ that the link between​​ an individual's ​​political influence ​​and monetary status​ ​​​must be diminished​​ for the good​​ of the democratic process​​.​​
