== Treasurer ==
Jim McIntosh served as Treasurer until 2017. He retired at the 2017 and another two times. Jim agreed to take over as Treasurer. He was dragged back into the position in April 2021 when the Leader, Keith Komar, resigned. The Executive Committee never made a Motion to appoint him as Treasurer, and has not been elected at an AGM or Convention since before 2017. And he is resigning again, 

Jim will train anyone who is willing to add the function of Treasurer to their Resume.   

Neal Donnelly, a renewed Member of the Party has agreed to stand for the position.
