An imminent threat to Annamie Paul's leadership of the Green Party of Canada has been eliminated, after a vote of non-confidence originally scheduled for this week was cancelled, CBC News has learned. The Green Party's governing body, called the federal council, was set to vote on the question Tuesday. A potential review of Paul's membership in the Green Party, discussed by the council last week, will also not be initiated, according to the sources. Fredericton MP Jenica Atwin, who subsequently left the Green Party for the Liberals in June, called the statement "totally inadequate." Fredericton MP Jenica Atwin announced last month she would leave the federal Green Party to sit as a Liberal.
