Constitution Submission #812
Section 14. CANDIDATES FOR PARLIAMENT
Title: EDA Role in Candidates Approval And Fairness To Applicants
Each electoral district association (EDA) is constitutionally “the primary organization through which the rights of members are exercised” (Article 5.1) and each local candidate nomination committee (CNC) is constitutionally the body responsible “for the administration of the candidate selection process in the electoral district” (Article 14.2). But these rights require explicit constitutional elaboration and protection.
Constitution Submission #813
Section 17. ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THE CONSTITUTION
Title: Enforcement Of The Constitution
It is clear from the heading to Article 17 of the Constitution that the Conservative Party already recognizes the need for “Enforcement … of the Constitution” – that there is indeed little point in having a constitution unless there are also rules about what happens when people fail to abide by it.
Policy Submission #928
Section 75, 76 and 77 of the Environment topic of the Policy Declaration (PD)
Title: Enforcement Of The Constitution
Burnaby North - Seymour improved the ENVIRONMENT topic of the PD at the 2023 Conservative national convention by passage of 3 of our submissions, most notably section 68 Environmental Principles that places clean air and climate, clean water and land and biodiversity into the PD.
As a result of a rule change, our EDA has been permitted to submit a Bundled proposal that affects 3 of the remaining sections. This would result in an ENVIRONMENT topic of the PD that the Leader and all Candidates can get behind, and stop our critics from saying that we are "climate deniers" and we have no environmental policy.
