Members in attendance voted on a variety of policy proposals, including condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine, strict federal regulation and oversight of carbon offsets and credits, and a national Action Plan to address violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people. The proposals adopted by the members in attendance will subsequently undergo a ratification vote by the party&#39;s full membership.<\/p><p>Lively debate and discussion among members meant fewer proposals reached the floor of the general meeting. As a result, an anticipated debate on amending the party&rsquo;s constitution to implement co-leadership did not occur. On February 28th, the party&rsquo;s Federal Council voted to plan a special general meeting this spring to debate and vote on co-leadership proposals, with the date to be determined.<\/p><p>During the party&rsquo;s 2022 leadership contest, four candidates ran on two co-leadership ballots. Among them was the party leader, Elizabeth May, who ran for co-leadership with the current deputy leader, Jonathan Pedneault. Implementing co-leadership would require a change to the party&rsquo;s constitution, which must be debated and voted on at a general meeting of the members.<\/p><p>The Green Party is the first federal party in Canada to seriously explore a co-leadership model. Many Green parties internationally, including those in Germany, Austria, Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Scotland, England and Wales, and the European Parliament, have successfully implemented co-leadership.<\/p><p><strong>#####<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>For more information please contact:<br \/><br \/>Laurie MacMillan<br \/>Interim Communications Manager<br \/>250-668-2732<br \/><a href=\"mailto:media@greenparty.ca\">media@greenparty.ca<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ottawa, ON &ndash; The Green Party of Canada concluded its annual general meeting on February 25th, marking the second occasion the event was conducted virtually.
