Our Plan

The supply management system is inefficient and fundamentally unfair to consumers, farmers, and other sectors of our economy.

A People’s Party government will:

Create a free, open, and fair system that will save Canadians billions of dollars annually thanks to the lower prices they will pay for these products.

Phase out the supply management system over a number of years to allow farmers to adapt, and compensate them for the lost value of their quotas.

Allow Canada’s dairy, egg and poultry farmers to thrive and sell their products internationally.

Many Canadians have no idea that late-term abortions on preborn babies in the 7th to 9th month are legal in Canada. Beyond 24 weeks, the preborn baby is viable outside the mother. When the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the old abortion law in 1988, all the justices agreed the state has a compelling interest in defending the unborn, especially after the second trimester. After 30 years with no law in Canada, a debate on abortion in Parliament is long overdue.

Even if the Protection of Preborn Children Act becomes law, it would still be one of the most permissive abortion laws in any Western country. Abortion would still be legal up until 24 weeks, and exceptions are there for cases where there has been sexual abuse of a minor, rape or where the woman’s health or life is in serious jeopardy.

Our Plan

Our current refugee policy is unsustainable, costly, and it is being abused by false refugees at our borders. This must end. The moral obligation of Canada’s government is to first help those in need among our own population, and then to give priority to real refugees.

A People’s Party Government Will:

Accept fewer resettled refugees (see also Immigration policy).

Take every measure necessary, in partnership with our American neighbours, to stop the flow of illegal migrants at the US-Canadian border.

Declare the whole border an official port of entry for the purposes of refugee claims to send back to the US anyone trying to enter Canada illegally.

Fence off the areas where illegal border jumping is prevalent, such as Roxham Road in Quebec.

Rely on private sponsorships instead of having the government pay for all the costs of resettling refugees in Canada.

Stop our reliance on the United Nations for refugee selection.

Give priority to refugees belonging to persecuted groups who have nowhere to go in neighbouring countries. For example: Christians, Yazidis, and members of other minority religions in majority Muslim countries; members of the Ahmadi community, and other Muslims in these countries who are persecuted because they reject political Islam and adhere to Western values; and members of sexual minorities.

Take Canada out of the UN’s Global Compact for Migration.

Our Plan

Freeing our economy from these interprovincial trade barriers would help families and businesses. It would also increase competition, raise productivity, and unite our country.

A People’s Party government will:

Reassert the authority and leadership of the federal government on internal trade.

Use section 91(2) of the Constitution, which gives Ottawa exclusive power to regulate matters of international and interprovincial trade, to force provinces to apply the principle of mutual recognition where applicable. This principle means that if a worker, product or service meets regulatory standards in one province, then other provinces will trust that they meet their own standards.

Appoint a Minister of Internal Trade whose sole responsibility will be to conduct studies, raise public awareness, counteract the influence of special interests that benefit from interprovincial barriers, and put pressure on provincial governments to get rid of them.

Our Plan

Canada’s firearms legislation must protect society from the criminal misuse of firearms and prioritize the deterrence and punishment of criminals.

Legal firearms owners deserve a legal framework that protects their property rights and treats them with fairness and respect. We need a common-sense approach to gun control that promotes safety while removing the threat of arbitrary criminal prosecution.

A People’s Party government will:

Replace the Firearms Act and supporting legislation with new legislation that will prioritize effective measures to improve public safety and fight crime in Canada.

Replace the costly and burdensome licensing system with an efficient lifetime certification system for firearms owners following mandatory vetting, safety training and testing. To avoid criminalizing legal gun owners and guarantee their property rights, this system will legalize simple possession of firearms for certified Canadians as long as they use their firearms lawfully and don't commit some other crime which would disqualify them from firearms ownership.

Require that all firearms categories be based on function, not on looks or arbitrary political whims, and remove ineffective restrictions which unfairly target sport shooters, but have no deterrent effect on criminals.

Mandate that all future changes to firearms regulation be completed through Parliament only. This means that neither the RCMP nor cabinet will be able to move the legal goalposts for legal firearms owners without the approval of Parliament.

Our plan

The government of Canada has an obligation to honour the nation’s sacred commitment to our military men and women and make sure our veterans receive the support they deserve.

A People’s Party government will:

Recognize and respect the unique sacrifices of those who serve and have served in Canada’s Armed Forces.

Enshrine in legislation the country’s obligations to our veterans in a Military Covenant between the government and those who serve in the Armed Forces.

Reinstate the fair disability pension as previously provided for by the Pension Act. The pension will apply retroactively to 2006 and lump sum payments received since then will be treated as advance payments.

Instigate a line-by-line review of the New Veterans Charter (including the Enhanced New Veterans Charter Act of 2011), to determine which policies and programs should be retained, simplify the system and make it easier to navigate.

Reemphasize the legislative guarantee of the “Benefit of doubt” standard under the Pension Act.
