Stanfield launches decentralization program for PCs
Ottawa Conservative Leader Stanfield unveils a three-committee plan to empower party associations with strong roles in policy, organization, and budget decisions. A 19 member policy panel will be led by Toronto lawyer E A Goodman, with Dalton Camp and other association leaders among its members. The move shifts control of the national director appointment to the association’s inner core, and adds representation on a new budget committee. Stanfield says the changes aim to create a democratic and responsive party structure.
