According to party members with knowledge of the issue, the party's federal council will hold a vote on whether to trigger a complex 30-day process under the party's constitution.
If the council votes tonight to launch that process, it will meet again on July 15. If 75 per cent of council members agree at that meeting to let a leadership vote go forward, party members could then vote to remove Paul from office through a motion at an annual general meeting.
One source said the Greens are overdue for such a meeting.
CBC News has reached out to Paul's office for comment.
She hasn't even been leader for a year....and all of this over just how much support Palestine should have and what places Zionism and Anti-Zionism have in the Party. That's why Atwin crossed the floor and became more supportive of Israel at least existing in some form. Couldn't they just wait until after the byelection later this year and actually give Paul a chance to campaign? I know it's a lost cause considering Haldimand-Norfolk's safely blue and Lewis is standing for it, but at least give Paul a chance to make an effort before kicking her to the curb.
And the byelection probably won't be held until November-February next year... unless Trudeau decides to finally call an election and try to take the chances at getting a 3rd mandate this time with a majority.
