This document will need to undergo some revisions, to reflect the current Government of Canada.

I agree. I would suggest we scrap it for now, and replace it with something far more basic and simple. We need a less rigid document at this time.

I'd propose something that is bare bones - listing when elections are to be held, what positions are to be part of cabinet, simple election rules, and a simple amending formula.

Here is a simple draft constitution for everyone's consideration. It is no work of art, but should get a stable but flexible set of rules in place if we ever decide to restart the Regional Government.

Constitution of the Region of Canada

1. Elections shall be held every two calendar months. The Elections shall be organized by the Minister of Regional Affairs. They shall take place on the Regional off-site Board. The elections shall elect members to Cabinet, as outlined in Article II.

I've closed this topic. All further discussion should take place in the discussion forum I've set up on the new draft constitution.
