WHEREAS CBA By-Law No. 1 prescribes the number of non-voting members that each Branch must elect to the National Council;
WHEREAS prescribing a fixed number gives insufficient flexibility to Branches in setting the size of their Branch Councils;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT Article 73(2)(a) and (b) of CBA Bylaw No.1 be amended to replace the words "equal to" with "up to", so that each Branch can elect a number of non-voting members up to the maximum stipulated.
Certified true copy of a resolution carried by the Council of the Canadian Bar Association at the Annual Meeting held in Saskatoon, SK, August 11-12, 2001.
