May to stay as Green leader, party to revisit Israeli boycott issue
OTTAWA — Elizabeth May will remain Green party leader despite a controversy over the Middle East that divided members and prompted her to consider stepping down.
The party will revisit a convention resolution to support a movement to boycott Israel, along with any other recent policy decisions that lacked genuine consensus, May told a news conference Monday.
Meantime, May will focus on her work as a member of a parliamentary committee studying options for remodelling Canada’s electoral system before the next national ballot in three years.
“This is a decision that I think the party needs as we build our strength, and as I work on electoral reform and we prepare for 2019,” May said.
