3-year term on the Federal Council
- Proposal text
- Replace "two (2) years" in regulation 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. Bylaw 2.1.5.2 would then read as follows: "2.1.5.2 All members of the 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. In addition, for the sake of consistency, by-laws 2.1.5.3 and 2.1.5.4 below would no longer apply: 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. -- NOTE: Recommendation to have it staggered but let Federal Council determine what would make the most sense based on when each current Council member was elected.
