I've completed a statement of objectives outlining the goals I'd like to accomplish if I'm elected to the Party Chair position. Click the link for an online version or download the attached document for a formatted version.

I have created and attached a spreadsheet that contains a high-level summary of the work that I believe needs to get done by the party over the next few years.  The analysis and priorities in the document are my own and my opinions may or may not be shared by other councillors and members.  Some of the work is based on work I did with council to establish a "Council Operations Group" that would help to better identify and prioritize the work council needed to do.

If you've read the Statement of Objectives I've published as part of my campaign for GPC Chair then you will see some overlap between the two documents.  I've tried to pull what I believe are some of the highest priority tasks in the spreadsheet into the objectives document in order to present the information in a more digestible way.  Also, there is certainly too much work identified in the spreadsheet to accomplish in a single one-year term.  But I think the two documents complement each other if you are trying to understand at a practical level how I work and how I will accomplish some of the "tracking" activities in the objectives document

Note that the spreadsheet is a working document that I am planning to keep updated as time permits.  Certainly circumstances in the party will change over time, which means that some of the information will become obsolete, priorities will change, some of the tasks will be (hopefully) completed, and so on.  Please send me an email if you notice anything that you think needs to be updated.

UPDATE:  A new spreadsheet with minor changes was uploaded on July 6.  Also, the detailed background information was removed from this post to make the document easier to find.  The background information is still available in the spreadsheet itself.

According to this poll it seems like the GPC is continuing to build support across the country.  We are at 9% which matches the Bloc.  To my knowledge this is the first time we've matched one of the other major parties in a poll so this is a significant event!  The poll also matches our 9% results from an earlier poll.  Different polling companies seem to use different methods for calculating their poll results and one 9% poll result could have represented a statistical anomaly.  But I think two Angus Reid polls in a row at 9% shows that we are trending upward.
