The Liberal Manifesto: 5 Pledges

Tackle Climate Change:

Climate change impacts all of us, and we have already seen the impacts of climate change through many extreme weather events, including the recent extreme heat in the interior of British Columbia. The Liberal Party remains firmly committed to tackling climate change. If re-elected we will increase the current carbon tax as well as increase the rate at which it will increase. We will pledge to raise it to $55 per tonne in 2022 and set it to increase at a rate of $20 per tonne per year.

Tackling the Coronavirus Pandemic:

If re-elected, we will introduce a vaccine mandate, requiring vaccination for non-essential activities. We will also bring in vaccine passports to more easily verify those who have been vaccinated. We will bring in a mask mandate for those who are unvaccinated.

A More Welcoming Canada:

We remain committed to taking in as many Afghan refugees as we can. Priority will be given to those who have helped the Canadian war effort, but we will work to take in anyone who may be targeted under the Taliban regime. Canada will work with the United States to ensure that the refugee process is smooth. Canada remains ready to welcome refugees from Afghanistan with open arms

More Housing for All:

We recognize the current housing crisis in Canada. If re-elected, we will pledge to build 1 million new low income housing units. We will pass laws to limit single-family zoning in densely populated areas, recognizing the need for housing in these areas to be more efficient.

Making Childcare Affordable:

We believe that all families should have access to childcare. We will work with the provinces to make childcare affordable for those families who cannot already afford it. Our goal is to ultimately have childcare available for $10 a day for all families across Canada.
