Collaborative Proposal Creation
Create, improve and sponsor proposals in a respectful, fully bilingual environment. Grow proposals in the "Hothouse", for promotion to the "Workshop", to become official GPC policy.
Establish a Committee on Co-Leadership
Proposal text
This motion directs Federal Council and the Constitutional Reform Committee (CRC) to strike an Ad Hoc Co-Leadership Subcommittee under the CRC to, if determined appropriate, recommend by-law or constitutional changes for members to adopt co-leadership at the earliest feasible General Meeting or through a Continuous Motion Development Process. The Committee’s work should include evaluating international practices and surveying and consulting members and EDAs.
Type of Proposal
A directive to ask the party’s Federal Council to consider an action
Objective / Benefit
The committee could consider questions such as:
- Does Co-Leadership suit the GPC and Canadian politics?
- What are the trade-offs of the different Co-Leadership models used internationally?
- Should Co-Leaders be elected in pairs or as individuals?
- How should responsibilities be managed?
- How should conflict and succession be managed?
- How does co-leadership change the Deputy Leader role(s)?
- What diversity/language requirements are appropriate?
- How should Elections Canada responsibilities be managed?
- How should Federal Council adapt to accommodate Co-Leadership?
- Should Leaders be able to run against Co-Leaders in the same Leadership Race? (See comments)
- Should the number of co-leaders be limited to two?
