Subject: Re: RE My recent conversations with most of you about the by-elections in New Brunswick or Trump or Liberals or Health Care or Pensions or the ERRE and my claim against the Crown in Federal Court File No T-1557-15
To: David Amos
-- Please reply above this line --
_(Français à suivre)_
Thank you for contacting the Green Party of Canada. Due to the high
volume of email, we cannot guarantee that all inquiries will be
answered. We will do our best to respond to inquiries as staffing and
resources permit.
In the meantime, you may find the answer you're looking for in Vision
Green [1], which lays out a plan to move Canada forward and to defend
the shared values and principles that built the country we love.
Our economic plan [2] invests in people and creates good jobs. We
will invest in infrastructure, education, and health care to
support strong communities [3]. Our proposed democratic reforms [4]
will make our politicians more accountable, our Parliament more
accessible, and our voting system more representative. Our plan
takes bold climate action [5], by embracing the solutions that we
already know work, encouraging research into those we have yet to
discover, and increasing the taxes paid by corporate polluters.
Green Members of Parliament, united by this vision for Canada, will
work on behalf of you, your family, and your community. If you would
like to help us grow, I would encourage you to visit our website [6],
where you sign up to volunteer [7] or make a donation [8].
Thank you again for your interest in the Green Party.

Nous vous remercions d’avoir contacté le Parti vert du Canada. En
raison de la grande quantité de courriels, nous ne pouvons garantir
que toutes les demandes seront traitées. Nous ferons notre possible
pour répondre à toutes les demandes selon le nombre d’employés et
les ressources dont nous disposons.
Entre temps, vous pouvez trouver la réponse à votre question en
consultant la publication Vision verte [9], un document qui définit
notre plan d’action pour faire avancer le Canada et pour défendre
les valeurs et les principes pour construire le pays que nous aimons.
Notre plan d’action économique [10] investit dans les gens et crée
de bons emplois. Nous investirons dans les infrastructures, en
éducation et dans les soins de santé pour soutenir des
collectivités fortes [11]. Notre proposition quant à une réforme
démocratique [12] rendra nos politiciens plus responsables, notre
Parlement plus accessible et notre système électoral plus
représentatif. Notre plan d’action prend des mesures vigoureuses
sur le réchauffement climatique [13] en adoptant les solutions qui,
selon nos connaissances, fonctionnent, en encourageant la recherche
dans des secteurs à découvrir et en augmentant les taxes et les
impôts payés par les entreprises pollueuses.
Les députés verts à la Chambre des communes, unis par cette vision
pour le Canada, travailleront en votre nom, celui de votre famille et
de votre collectivité. Si vous voulez nous aider à poursuivre notre
avancée, nous vous encourageons à consulter notre site web [14] où
vous pouvez donner votre nom comme bénévole [15] ou faire un don
[16].
Merci encore une fois de démontrer votre intérêt envers le Parti
vert.

>>>>> The Chair:

> Progressive Canadian Party responds to

>
> For Immediate Release May 12, 2016
>
> Newmarket, Ont. - The Progressive Canadian Party believes that
> fundamental change to our democracy in Canada should be discussed by
> ALL registered political parties in committee, then considered
> through
> a Supreme Court of Canada reference on the outcome as to its
> constitutionality and meaning for Canadians, and followed by a
> national referendum on the result.
>
> Fundamental change to our democracy, in which the new government has
> made an arbitrary choice to make 2015 the last election using
> Canada's
> system of Single Member Pluralities/Majority (SMP) elections in each
> riding, sometimes referred to as First Past the Post (FPTP), is too
> important to be the decision solely of a Special Committee alone
> dominated by the current government and approved by cabinet.
>
> PC Party Leader, the Hon. Sinclair Stevens raised concerns that the
> process and the principles described by Democratic Institutions
> Minister, the Hon. Maryam Monsef, exclude our existing system of
> voting rights as a choice for Canadians and may favour political
> movements and parties over the democratic rights of Canadians.
>
> Mr. Stevens suggested that if a Special Committee is to be struck to
> discuss these issues, all registered political parties should be
> consulted, especially since party representation is key to the
> principles outlined by Minister Monsef and that the virtues of our
> existing electoral system should be central to the national
> conversation rather than surrender to the view that "whatever is, is
> wrong." A new status quo centred on party and movements might well
> lead to priorities and elections concerned mainly with the interest
> of party and movements, creating governance by party oligarchies,
> while systems of ranked ballots might well serve the interest of
> party
> insiders only.
>
> For these reasons, Mr. Stevens argued with the support of PC Party
> National Council, a wider discussion is necessary and if a Special
> Committee of political parties is to be struck in such an
> extraordinary way then all registered political parties should be
> consulted both within and outside parliament.
>
> Mr. Stevens noted that this was the process engaged when the Standing
> Committee on Procedures and House Affairs consulted - but then
> ignored
> - all party consultation on Bill C-16, the fixed date election act
> which had such consequence for the 2015 election.
>
> He stressed further that an all party Special Committee consulting
> all
> registered political parties should be followed by a Supreme Court of
> Canada reference concerning the constitutionality of any proposal
> made
> by the committee and that the proposal should then be the subject of
> a
> national referendum given the fundamental changes to Canada's
> democracy any such change would bring. The Charlottetown Accord in
> 1992 alone proposed change of similar consequence in recent memory.

Progressive Canadian Party responds to Special Parliamentary Committee
on Electoral Reform

Progressive Canadian Party responds to
special parliamentary committee on electoral reform.
For Immediate Release May 12, 2016
Newmarket, Ont. - The Progressive Canadian Party believes that
fundamental change to our democracy in Canada should be discussed by
ALL registered political parties in committee, then considered through
a Supreme Court of Canada reference on the outcome as to its
constitutionality and meaning for Canadians, and followed by a
national referendum on the result.
Fundamental change to our democracy, in which the new government has
made an arbitrary choice to make 2015 the last election using Canada's
system of Single Member Pluralities/Majority (SMP) elections in each
riding, sometimes referred to as First Past the Post (FPTP), is too
important to be the decision solely of a Special Committee alone
dominated by the current government and approved by cabinet.
PC Party Leader, the Hon. Sinclair Stevens raised concerns that the
process and the principles described by Democratic Institutions
Minister, the Hon. Maryam Monsef, exclude our existing system of
voting rights as a choice for Canadians and may favour political
movements and parties over the democratic rights of Canadians.
Mr. Stevens suggested that if a Special Committee is to be struck to
discuss these issues, all registered political parties should be
consulted, especially since party representation is key to the
principles outlined by Minister Monsef and that the virtues of our
existing electoral system should be central to the national
conversation rather than surrender to the view that "whatever is, is
wrong." A new status quo centred on party and movements might well
lead to priorities and elections concerned mainly with the interest
of party and movements, creating governance by party oligarchies,
while systems of ranked ballots might well serve the interest of party
insiders only.
For these reasons, Mr. Stevens argued with the support of PC Party
National Council, a wider discussion is necessary and if a Special
Committee of political parties is to be struck in such an
extraordinary way then all registered political parties should be
consulted both within and outside parliament.
Mr. Stevens noted that this was the process engaged when the Standing
Committee on Procedures and House Affairs consulted - but then ignored
- all party consultation on Bill C-16, the fixed date election act
which had such consequence for the 2015 election.
He stressed further that an all party Special Committee consulting all
registered political parties should be followed by a Supreme Court of
Canada reference concerning the constitutionality of any proposal made
by the committee and that the proposal should then be the subject of a
national referendum given the fundamental changes to Canada's
democracy any such change would bring. The Charlottetown Accord in
1992 alone proposed change of similar consequence in recent memory.
