Priority Resolutions
Each Provincial and Territorial Association (PTA) and Commission has identified one resolution from their top ten resolutions that is to be considered a “priority resolution”. These resolutions go directly to the Biennial Convention’s Policy Plenary session in order to be discussed and voted on by delegates.Prior to the 2012 Biennial Convention, we invite you to add your comments to these resolutions as your input may aid the convention delegates in making their voting decisions at the Biennial Convention’s Policy Plenary session.
The Biennial Convention’s Policy Plenary session will be the opportunity for delegates to determine whether or not these resolutions are adopted.
As stated in our Party’s Constitution, all adopted resolutions at the Plenary will be presented to the Leader and the Caucus in order to form the basis of our Party’s policies and eventual platform.
