CONSTITUENCY ASSOCIATIONS
(a) Members shall be organized according to their residence in the
federal electoral districts of Canada. Members temporarily residing
outside of Canada shall be assigned to the federal electoral district in
which they vote for federal elections.
(b) The Constituency Association Constitution set forth in
"Schedule B" appended hereto and which is incorporated into
and forms a part of this Constitution, shall be the Constitution of all
Constituency Associations.
(c) Where there are at least thirty (30) Members resident in an
electoral district they may apply to obtain Alliance recognition as a
Constituency Association of the Alliance by making application to
National Council for recognition, including a copy of the minutes of the
founding meeting, and a list of the Officers and Directors of the
Interim Constituency Association.
(d) Where the number of Members of the Alliance residing in the federal
electoral district in which the Constituency Association was formed
becomes fewer than thirty (30) Members, National Council, in its sole
discretion, may withdraw recognition whereupon it shall cease to be a
Constituency Association and any funds or other assets of the
Constituency Association shall be transferred to National Office to be
returned to the Constituency Association upon future recognition.
(e) The affairs of each Constituency Association shall be under the
control of its Members, acting through the Constituency Association
Board of Directors, who shall be responsible to ensure that the affairs
are conducted in a manner consistent with the Constitution of the
Alliance, and not prejudicial to the interests or well-being of any
other Constituency Association, or of the Alliance.
(f) Membership lists are to be used for Alliance purposes only. No other
use is permitted unless authorized in writing by National Council.
(g) National Council may call a meeting of the Constituency Association
if it believes that it is necessary to do so, with notice of the meeting
consistent with this Constitution.
