In February 2004, the Green Party of Canada Living Platform was initiated by the Party's former Head of Platform and Research, Michael Pilling, to open the party's participatory democracy to the public to help validate its policies against broad public input.

The party was not registered with Elections Canada, did not run candidates in the 2006 federal election, and may in fact be defunct.
