4. Tightening Bail Laws to Protect Victims of Intimate Partner Violence – UWC North York
5. Violence against Women in Politics – CFUW Oakville

Thank you to CFUW Oakville, CFUW Headwaters (formerly Orangeville and District), CFUW Nelson and District, UWC North York and the CFUW Policy Book Review Sub-Committee working with the CFUW Advocacy Committee. We appreciate the thoughtful attention you have given to the preparation of the Resolutions.

The next step is for Clubs to study and debate each Resolution; the Resolved Clauses, Background, Implementation and Bibliography, and, if you believe it will improve a Resolution, to propose Amendments to the Resolved Clauses. An amendment is a proposed change that is relevant to the subject of the Resolved Clause but does not introduce a new subject.Click here for a guide for club review of a CFUW resolution. Click here for the CFUW Policy Book. 
 

Amendments to Proposed Resolutions
In addition to Amendments to the Resolved Clauses, you may suggest changes to the Background, Implementation and Bibliography for Proposers’ consideration. At the CFUW Policy Session in August, the Resolved Clauses are the only part of the Resolution subject to a vote.

Click here to access the Amendment Form (Appendix D of the Resolutions Information & Guidelines Document). Please use a separate form for each Resolution Amendment. For the full Resolutions & Guidelines Document, click here.

Email your Amendments by April 15^th to Charlotte Akin  advocacy@cfuw-fcfdu.ca and to Grace Hollett graceh@nl.rogers.com who will acknowledge receipt and forward to Proposers. If Clubs do not receive confirmation that their amendments have been received, please contact Grace & Charlotte again at graceh@nl.rogers.com and advocacy@cfuw-fcfdu.ca. Deadline for receipt of amendments is April 15. Deadline for proposers to notify Clubs if their amendments have been accepted is May 15.

The proposer of each resolution will review all the amendments received for that proposed resolution and will work with the Resolutions Committee to finalize the wording of their Resolutions. A proposed amendment may be accepted or rejected and Clubs will be informed about their proposed Amendment by May 15. If accepted, amendments will be incorporated into the amended resolution. Similar proposed amendments may be combined to strengthen a Resolved Clause. If not accepted, there is still an opportunity for its proposer to bring such proposed amendment forward at the Proposers and Amenders meeting in May 2022, or on the floor when the Resolution is presented at the August Policy Session. The Amended Proposed Resolutions for the CFUW AGM will be placed on the CFUW admin website at www.cfuwadmin.org and circulated via the Club Action Newsletter. The French editions of the Resolutions will be posted on receipt of the translations. French-speaking Clubs will be informed on receipt.
