Green Party of Canada could remove Paul as party leader

The Green Party of Canada confirms a special session will be convened this evening following a report it has triggered a process that could remove Annamie Paul as party leader.

A statement from a party official says "The GPC Federal Council has convened a special session for June 15th. The next regularly scheduled meeting will be held on June 29th. No further comment at this time".

An email from the party confirms the agenda for the special session this evening "is confidential".

The special session comes days after Fredericton MP Jenica Atwin announced she was crossing the line to join the Liberal Party of Canada after openly criticizing Paul's call for de-escalation of the recent deadly hostilities between Israel and Palestinians.
