Meaningful representation: Parliament & electoral reform

A proud legacy of change.

Canada has always been a progressive nation open to bold new ideas. Our Parliament has produced cornerstones of our Canadian identity such as enshrining our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and creating our public health care system.

Change for the worse.

Stephen Harper’s secretive regime is now blocking Canadians from knowing what happens in committees and even provides misleading information to Canadians and to Parliament.

Liberals stand for open, fair, and strong democratic representation.

The Liberal Party of Canada believes that Parliament should belong to the people instead of the Prime Minister. Liberals are committed to exploring Parliamentary and Electoral reform in order to realign our institutions with democratic principles and to ensure more meaningful and effective representation.

This statement is inspired by policy resolutions submitted and voted on by Party members.

TV ads in hockey games or jobs for youth?
May 16, 2013
Earlier this spring, the Harper Conservatives faced a choice in their spending plans. They could invest in jobs for unemployed young Canadians (especially summer jobs for students).

They chose the ads. Hundreds of them. More »
