D’Angela suggested postponing the rest of the election to tomorrow so voting is not happening today. Hsu asked how many questions were left. The Chair stated that there were 17 unanswered questions. Lee asked if those questions would be asked tomorrow. The Chair advised that only individualized questions would be asked tomorrow. Hsu was opposed to this motion, as there were science students who had questions and wanted answers. D’Angela stated that the Assembly would never be able to answer all of the questions. D’Angela stated that if the question period were extended every time, the Assembly would be here for days. D’Angela encouraged members to use the information at hand and ask additional questions online. D’Angela did not think it would be effective to go through all of the questions. Guarna was in support of the motion. The operating policy was just passed, and the Assembly agreed on the time limits. Guarna stated that if the question period were extended for this position, it should be extended for all positions. Guarna advised that the Administrative Assistant has offered to type up the additional questions and circulate to the candidates for responses. Guarna was concerned if the time limit was extended and not all of the questions were asked the Assembly would be prioritizing some questions over others. Guarna thought this was a good compromise, and members can look for the answers online. Bengizi stated that students wanted to engage with the candidates now, and thought that they should answer the questions now. Bengizi stated it was important that the Assembly asks as many questions as possible. Baiden was also against this motion. Baiden stated there are questions that science students wanted to hear answered. Baiden added that there are creative questions that the science caucus asked so they could hear collective answers. Baiden stated that all members gave up their Saturdays, and it is important to hear all questions. Khanano agreed with Guarna. The elections take a long time, and not all questions will be asked. Khanano thought emailing the unasked candidates was a good compromise. Khanano did not think it would be fair to extend this position and not the others, and if all positions are extended, the meeting will be lengthy. Cole stated that an open forum was important, but if students had questions they wanted to have answered, they should contact the candidate directly. Cole stated this would be a valuable experience for these students and they would receive tailored answers.

Nestico-Semianiw went over the role of the VP Education with the Assembly. Bengizi asked if being OUSA President had an effect on how Nestico-Semianiw managed time as the VP Ed. Nestico-Semianiw stated that OUSA President was a dimension of the role that the Board of Directors saw as a priority for the year. Nestico-Semianiw stated that McMaster Students benefitted from OUSA’s successes. Nestico-Semianiw added that having the Research Assistants was beneficial to support the MSU’s internal advocacy priorities and maintain the work that past VP Educations had started.

Areghan asked how many questions were left. The Chair stated that there were twelve unanswered questions. Areghan stated that he would be voting against this motion.

Baiden did not think it would be fair to ask additional questions, as the time was not extended for the other positions. Baiden thought the Assembly should be consistent. Krause stated that the Assembly set a precedent and should keep going with it. Farah asked if candidates would be held accountable to answer the additional questions. The Chair advised that it was not mandated in the operating policy, and it would be the decision of each candidate whether to answer.

Nestico-Semianiw thought the MSU was able to maintain relationships with the University administrators, and he was not concerned with the success of internal advocacy this year. Osazuwa did not think there was anything wrong with an internal or external focus, it was about good communication with the Board and about balancing priorities.

Chair 

The Chair announced that today’s meeting would be in the order in which the items were postponed.

Moved by Osazuwa, seconded by Bengizi to extend individual question periods for each VP candidate by 15 minutes. 

 

 

Osazuwa was concerned that if the Assembly did not extend the question period before the elections resume, there will be a discussion at the end to exhaust the Speaker’s List. Osazuwa thought it was better to have the discussion now. Bengizi was eager to have the candidates answer as many questions as possible. Bengizi stated that it was important for the members to get a better understanding of what candidates had to say. D’Angela was against this motion. D’Angela stated that the operating policy was created to outline how VP elections should be run, and did not understand why the policy was approved if the Assembly was going to make amendments on the floor. D’Angela stated that he has gone through the process twice, and individual questions are daunting. D’Angela stated that extending individual questions was making the elections less accessible. D’Angela encouraged the members to be efficient and thoughtful in their questions. Lightstone noted that yesterday, there were many questions unanswered. Lightstone stated the Assembly should take the time to ask these questions. Bengizi stated she would benefit if there were more time for individual questions. Bengizi understood that not all questions would be asked, but specific platform points from candidates need to be explained.

Moved by Osazuwa, seconded by D’Angela to move back into the Vice-President (Administration) Election. Passes Unanimously Moved by Areghan, seconded by D’Angela to postpone the Vice-President (Administration) and Vice-President (Finance) elections indefinitely.  

Areghan stated that some candidates were not present and it was unfair to start question period until all candidates were present. D’Angela thought the Assembly should continue in the same order from yesterday. D’Angela was not concerned because the individualized questions have been extended and other candidates do not need to be present.

Amendment Moved by Baiden, seconded by Lightstone to amend the motion to include postponing the Vice-President (Education) election indefinitely.   

Baiden thought all VP elections should be postponed and the assembly should start with the Speaker election. Lightstone disagreed, stating that the Assembly has been working on the VP Elections and they should work through those elections first. Krause thought it was important to go in the order of the agenda and encouraged everyone to vote this down.
