This was a constitutional amendment and focused on the structure of a youth wing. The Conservative Party currently has and will continue to have campus clubs. Option A would have made a national council for youth, an annual convention and a seat on the national council. Option B would have done similar with slightly different wording and not quite as comprehensive. Option C which many youth delegates supported was the current system. The youth organizers are still free to organize and this way they will not be limited by the not very good resolutions A and B. You can find the resolutions under the party on the party website. As a party we have 4 MPs under 30 and many local organizers that are in there teens. At this convention and in the future each riding is guaranteed one youth delegate. This was debated by many youth this weekend and it was fun to see the evolution from A to C by today. This is a great party with very little barriers for involvement. I personally got involved very young and was encouraged by older members who have always valued my contribution.

We are. We have 3000 people at this convention. We had 5 concurrent sessions in process most of the day. The speeches last night were a good example of what we are really doing here. A young diverse party setting forth a clear vision. The session I sat in on today had a homogeneity of views. I was excited to see the good policy that address the real issues challenging all of us. We put forth great policies on immigration, the environment, healthcare and many more things that touch us every day. Compare that to the Liberal convention that is legalizing prostitution and pot. The media coverage has been focused on the Liberal definition of what they would like to brand us as. The real problem the Liberals have is that it just isn't reality. They are constantly trying to distract from the mess they are making. The distractions won’t work for much longer. I am witnessing people working hard to make us a strong party that reflects the needs of all Canadians. As we go forth now having a clear policy discussion the hidden agenda can be put to bed. I encourage everyone to tune into CPAC tonight and hear it from the horses mouth.
