This motion changes the definition of Provincial, Territorial, and Regional Unit to allow for the possibility of those Units to be a coalition of EDAs or comprise of EDA representatives.

Préambule

WHEREAS a consensus has emerged in the Provincial Organization Committee where EDAs in a region, territory, or province must agree on the formation of, and the continued operation of, any Regional, Territorial or Provincial Association;

WHEREAS the most effective way to do that is to be able to recognize a Regional, Territorial or Provincial Associations that is a coalition of EDAs or comprise of EDA representatives;

WHEREAS the definitions in articles 7.2.2 and 7.2.3, as currently worded, would prevent that type of Regional, Territorial or Provincial Association; and

WHEREAS the solution is to expand the definitions of Regional, Territorial and Provincial Association to allow the possibility of being comprised of EDAs;

Dispositif

BE IT RESOLVED THAT "or EDAs" be added to articles 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 as follows:

That part (1) of Article 7.2.2. be amended to "An association of the Party in which all Party Members, all EDAs, or Party Members and all EDAs residing within a province or territory of Canada have membership and voting rights,"

That Article 7.2.3 be amended to "Regional Association: An association of the Party in which all Party Members, all EDAs, or Party Members and all EDAs residing within a group of contiguous electoral districts have membership and voting rights."
