Following up on Huguette Allen's post, in the current circumstances, I think it would be fair, and helpful to members, if Sylvie Lemieux were allowed to email all members about motion G10-dll.
Given that:
our Constitution presently mandates a fixed-term leadership and requires a leadership contest in 2010 (every four years, previously every two years),
a leadership race ought to have wrapped up by this point (as Elizabeth May's term ends next month),
Federal Council appears to have disregarded the Constitution, delayed calling a race and appears to favour amending the Constitution so that leadership races coincide with elections,
Elizabeth May, with only a month or so left in her term, was allowed to email members about her position on the leadership motions,
members should hear opposing views on this issue so that they are informed, however they ultimately decide to vote.
Note that I'm writing this on my own initiative, and I haven't discussed this with anyone.
