Le programme national d'éducation de la petite enfance et de garde d'enfants introduit par les libéraux doit être réformé et élargi. Les investissements dans ce secteur ont montré qu'ils génèrent un solide retour sur investissement — jusqu'à 6$ pour chaque dollar investi. Une éducation de la petite enfance abordable et de haute qualité permet aux parents de retourner au travail, de choisir d'avoir plus d'enfants si tel est leur souhait, et aide à garantir que les enfants canadiens aient le meilleur départ dans la vie: les recherches sont claires, les premières années sont essentielles pour acquérir des compétences et des habitudes fondamentales.

Le programme actuel a créé des obstacles inutiles en imposant des quotas pour les garderies à but non lucratif; cela ne tient pas compte du fait que de nombreux centres sont de très petites entreprises servant des communautés restreintes, et la création d'un conseil d'administration et de structures de gestion complexes exclut de nombreux centres et crée des obstacles pour d'autres.

Le PAC permettra aux garderies qui se déclarent comme des entreprises sociales d'être éligibles au financement fédéral, une catégorie créée par les libéraux pour inclure les entreprises ayant pour objectif principal de délivrer un bien social: et quel bien social pourrait être plus important que d'offrir à nos jeunes le bon départ? Cela réduira la bureaucratie et permettra aux gestionnaires des centres de concentrer leur attention là où elle doit être: sur les enfants dont ils ont la charge.

Le PAC propose un sommet national sur l'éducation de la petite enfance, pour promouvoir des normes plus élevées à travers le pays et apprendre ce dont les provinces et les territoires ont besoin pour garantir que l'objectif de garde d'enfants abordable à l'échelle nationale soit atteint d'ici 2028.

"Protect and strengthen $10-a-day Early Learning and Child Care (ELCC) system to create 100,000 new spaces by 2031. This will increase the supply of not-for-profit and public early learning and child care, getting more families off wait lists, and saving families money. It will also create 35,000 jobs for early learning and child care workers." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-22

"Make the National School Food Program permanent. The program is a direct investment in the middle class, making life a little easier for working families especially as they try to keep up with inflation. It is also a safety net for children who don’t always have enough to eat at home. Last year, this program was introduced with a goal of reaching 400,000 children. In less than ten months, agreements were reached with all provinces and territories to reach over 500,000 kids, exceeding targets and helping more families. Conservatives voted against this program. No child should go hungry. So, we will make this program permanent. And we will prioritize Canadian-made food as much as possible." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-22

"We will introduce emergency price caps on basic food items—like pasta, frozen vegetables, and infant formula—to keep costs of food down. These items have seen some of the steepest increases since 2020: cooking oil is up 75 per cent, pasta is up 43 per cent, and infant formula—an essential for so many parents—is up 30 per cent and still climbing.

Price regulations are already in place for a number of sectors of Canada’s economy, like electricity, natural gas and certain medicines. And they have been used in other jurisdictions to tackle food price inflation. We would attempt to negotiate this cap but if big grocery chains refuse, we would act by passing the appropriate legislation.

To enforce this cap, we will put in place a mandatory Grocery Code of Conduct."

3. The Coopérative de Transport Maritime et Aérien ferry in cooperation with the Government of Quebec.

We will also reduce fares for those using these routes to transport goods. Significantly reducing the costs associated with the Confederation Bridge and these ferry services will make it easier to trade between provinces, unite Canada, and build one Canadian economy."

Le PAC estime qu'un système fiscal moderne, équitable et efficace est essentiel à la prospérité individuelle, à l'investissement des entreprises et à l'unité nationale. Le code fiscal du Canada est devenu excessivement complexe, imposant un fardeau inutile aux citoyens, aux familles et aux entreprises. Malgré des appels à la réforme qui remontent à plus de 60 ans — y compris les recommandations de la Commission Carter — les gouvernements n'ont pas agi.

Le PAC plaide pour une véritable réforme fiscale qui réponde aux besoins du 21e siècle.

Commission royale sur la réforme fiscale

1. Le PAC propose de créer une Commission royale pour réformer et simplifier le système fiscal canadien; et
2. La Commission devrait rendre ses recommandations dans les 18 mois, avec l'introduction et la mise en œuvre de la législation au cours de la troisième année.

Réforme fondée sur des principes essentiels

Le travail de la Commission sera guidé par les principes suivants:

1. Imposition progressive: Ceux qui ont une plus grande capacité de payer doivent contribuer de manière plus équitable;
2. Équité et intégrité fiscale: Veiller à ce que tous les individus et entreprises paient ce qu'ils doivent — éliminer toutes les échappatoires;
3. Compétitivité: Faire du Canada une destination mondiale attrayante pour les affaires et l'investissement;

Simplicité et transparence: Réduire la paperasserie et alléger le fardeau des contribuables.
