Here is a great chance to pass a CPC policy resolution getting rid of s. 13 of the CHRA.

It will have to be argued and voted on to get past the amending process in the Justice workshop first before making it to the floor for a final vote in its final version.
BTW ALL policy resolutions submited by membership that make it through amendment debate are taken to the floor for a final vote….it’s called democratic accommodation…you must have memory hangover from PC and LPC conventions where this process is absent. ;-)

What we need to do is a mass blog apeal to all CPC members and e-mail all CPC MP’s.
