Recall

Members may initiate a recall of members of the GLP Executive through the following process.

A recall vote will be initiated if at least 10% of GLP members, measured by total membership at the time of submission, sign a petition to trigger a recall. Signatures will be validated by PEA staff. The petition submission will include a statement indicating why the recall is being initiated.

If the petition is successful, a recall vote open to all GLP members will take place within 30 days following the validation of signatures. The voting period shall be at least seven days. The petition statement included in the submission as well as a response from the target of the recall will be posted to the members only section of the PEA webpage before voting takes place.

A recall vote will require 50% plus one of members to participate and 50% plus one of votes in favour for the recall to be successful.

An Executive member who is the target of an unsuccessful recall vote may not be the target of another recall for the remainder of the current GLP Executive term. An Executive member who is the target of a successful recall vote may not be re-appointed to the same position for the remainder of the current GLP Executive term
