Ensuring Leaders or co-leaders are elected, or appointed by FC

This proposal aims to modify the constitution in order to allow for the possibility of co-leadership, and to ensure that no one can become leader or co-leader without having been elected to that position, in conformity with the Green party's dedication to participatory democracy. This proposal amends the definition of Leader as follows: 7.1.2 Leader: the Member or members elected to the position of leader or co-leader or appointed by Federal Council on an interim basis to these positions in accordance to Bylaw 2.1.8 and filed Leader pursuant to the Canada Elections Act. In the eventuality of a situation of co-leadership, both co-leaders will collaborate with Federal Council to determine who among co-leaders is filed Leader pursuant to the Canada Elections Act.
