When is the deadline?
To allow for a thorough review and administrative processing, we encourage members to submit their resolutions as early as possible. The final deadline to submit resolutions for each year will be posted here.
Resolutions received after the submission deadline might not be printed in the Annual Report and Resolutions Book and may only be admitted for debate by special motion during the AGM & Convention. The process for handling resolutions received after the deadline is outlined below:
Late Resolutions
- Late resolutions will be accepted until noon on the final date (to be determined each year), but the topic must have arisen since the original deadline.
- 2/3 majority of voting delegates in attendance must vote in favour of considering late resolutions. These resolutions will not be considered until all emergency and regular resolutions have been considered.
- NCLGA will ensure that copies of late resolution(s) are circulated to all delegates.
Emergency Resolutions
- A resolution may be deemed emergency in nature only if the topic has arisen since the March 10 deadline. Emergency resolutions will be accepted until noon on the final date noted on the website.
- The Board has the ability to ensure an emergency resolution is considered with the regular resolution session.
- NCLGA will ensure that copies of emergency resolution(s) are circulated to all delegates.
Off-the-Floor Resolutions
- A member sponsor may put forth resolutions from the floor during the Resolutions Debate; however, it will only be discussed after all regular, late, and emergency resolutions have been debated.
- It is the responsibility of the member sponsor to ensure that a copy of the resolution is sent to NCLGA staff prior to debating the resolution.
- 2/3 majority of voting delegates in attendance must vote in favour of considering off-the-floor resolutions.
