To put Christchurch people first, the Green Party will restore democracy in Canterbury to give power back to the people. The Green Party will give Cantabrians back their right to elect regional councillors by repealing the Environment Canterbury Act (Temporary Commissioners and Improved Water Management), including its provisions weakening the law around water conservation orders in Canterbury. We will commit to hold elections for a new ECan by October 2015 at the latest, and for all councillors to be elected.
