Outgoing provincial Green leader Adriane Carr may still be tight-lipped about her future ambitions. But the chattering classes are already asking why Ms. Carr would leave a paying gig for an unpaid one - if indeed she becomes federal party leader Elizabeth May's deputy as is rumoured? Answer: because it's no longer unpaid. At their most recent convention, federal Greens passed a resolution authorizing the party to "immediatetly develop a remuneration plan for at least one Deputy Leader, at least one of which will be of the opposite gender to the leader." Those deputy leader postings are presently listed as vacant on the Green's Website. The following is a complete copy of that resolution.

G06-d23: Deputy Leader Remuneration

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT if funds are not immediately available, the Party will make extra efforts to raise the funds required.
