| Submission Status: | |
| Submission: | There shall be a national convention with a National Council election at least every second calendar year, subject to such reasonable extension not exceeding nine months as may be necessary due to the conduct or threat of a federal election or conduct of the leadership selection process.
The Convention will be organized and run to allow for a hybrid of in-person and remote attendance, including the ability to vote, to allow Conservative members who are unable to attend in person to participate in the convention remotely. |
| Rationale: | Technology and attending meetings and conventions remotely has become mainstream over the past 3 years, and is now in widespread use. By including a remote attendance option for members to attend conventions, we will be able to include far more members in the important processes of voting on policies and our constitution, as well as party leadership. This change could also allow members that were not able to participate in the past for reasons such as cost, family, travel, etc to have their voice heard in deciding the future direction of our party. |
| Translation of Submission: | Proposition Un congrès national et l’élection de l’Exécutif national ont lieu au moins toutes les deux années civiles, sous réserve d’une prolongation raisonnable n’excédant pas neuf (9) mois rendue nécessaire en raison de la tenue ou de la menace d’élections fédérales ou du processus de sélection du chef.
Raisonnement a technologie et la participation à distance aux réunions et aux conventions se sont imposées au cours des trois dernières années et sont désormais largement utilisées. En offrant aux membres la possibilité d'assister à distance aux conventions, nous serons en mesure de faire participer un plus grand nombre d'entre eux aux processus importants que sont le vote sur les politiques et notre constitution, ainsi que sur la direction du parti. Ce changement pourrait également permettre aux membres qui n'étaient pas en mesure de participer dans le passé pour des raisons telles que le coût, la famille, les voyages, etc. de faire entendre leur voix pour décider de l'orientation future de notre parti. |
