Responsibilities
Review all resolutions prior to AGM debate to ensure the following:
- The intent of the resolution is clear.
- The resolution is not contrary to the FPSE Constitution or its governing Policies or Procedures.
- The resolution does not conflict with existing positional policy. If so, the committee will bring this to the attention of the AGM.
- The resolution is not redundant (an area in which the Federation already has policy). If a resolution relates to existing policy, the Resolutions Committee may recommend that it be re-written as an action recommendation rather than as policy.
The Resolutions Committee, in consultation with the Executive, will prioritize AGM motions that have a financial impact on the operating budget prior to their being debated by AGM delegates. Where necessary, the Resolutions Committee will report to the AGM concerning recommended changes to resolutions.
The Resolutions Committee has set out some guidelines to navigate through the resolutions process at AGM. This process and guideline will form the template for how resolutions are handled at future FPSE AGMs. We hope that these guidelines will assist you and your delegates with resolutions at this AGM. Should you have any questions, you can email agmrsc@fpse.ca – we will be happy to answer any questions you have.
This year’s Resolution Screening Committee: FPSE Secretary-Treasurer, Sean Parkinson (Chair); Lynelle Yutani (CCFA, Local 12); Chris Jaeger (VP2/VIUFA Local 08); Taryn Thomson (VCCFA, Local 15);
