co-operative who is present personally at a meeting of the co-operative is
entitled to one vote, and no more than one vote, on any question arising for
decision at that meeting.
(2) No rule of a
registered housing co-operative that has the effect of conferring on a member
a right to more than one vote, or denying or limiting a member's right to
vote, on a question arising at a meeting of the co-operative, is valid unless
specifically approved by the Minister.
(3) The rules of a
registered housing co-operative may, with the approval of the Minister, make
provision with respect to the appointment of proxies by members of the
co-operative, and the ability of those proxies to attend and vote at meetings
of the co-operative.
(4) This section does
not prevent a member who has been appointed to represent a corporate member of
the co-operative, or who is otherwise entitled to act on behalf of another
member, from voting both as a member and in his or her representative
capacity.
