If elected, a Green government will establish a federal minimum wage of $15 an hour.^[5][6]

A Conservative government would cancel the carbon tax.^[4]

A re-elected Liberal government would implement a federal minimum wage of $15 per hour, set to rise with inflation. For provinces and territories where a higher minimum wage is already in place, those minimums will remain.^[1]

An NDP government would aim to increase the wages of over 900,000 Canadian workers by instituting a national minimum wage, to be set at $15. All unpaid internships outside of school programs would be banned.^[7][8]

The Bloc Québécois will campaign for the right to separate from Canada with full compensation and without any conditions placed on Quebec. Once complete, the elimination of two levels of government is expected to save hundreds of millions of dollars. These funds will be redirected towards programs within Québéc.^[9]

If elected, a People’s Party government will overhaul Canada’s agricultural supply management system. Under supply management, specific sectors limit the supply of their products in order to ensure predictable, stable prices. A People’s Party government would phase out quotas on dairy products to increase the supply and lower prices for Canadian consumers. Farmers affected by this policy will be compensated while they adjust to the new system.^[2][3]

A re-elected Liberal government would plant two billion trees over ten years as part of a $3 billion fund for natural climate solutions. The fund would support efforts to better manage, conserve, and restore forests, grasslands, agricultural lands, wetlands, and coastal areas.^[10]

If elected, an NDP government would declare a climate emergency and seek to make Canada a world leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The NDP would invest in energy efficient green technologies in order to stabilize the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.^[15][16]

A Conservative government would focus on green technology, not taxes. It would require major emitters to invest in green technology and introduce incentives for green innovation. It would also work to make our natural environment cleaner and greener and take the climate change fight global.^[12]

The Bloc is proposing green equalization, a tax reform that would reshape the carbon tax, shift some of the income tax to green taxation and revise the equalization formula to include incentives to fight climate change much more actively.^[9]

The Greens would establish a cross-party Cabinet, similar to the Second World War “War Cabinets” that would bring together members across party lines to tackle climate change.^[13][14]

A People’s Party government would not fund government interventions to fight climate change.^[11]

An NDP government would maintain the federal carbon tax and will hold large polluters accountable for greenhouse gas emissions.^[15][16]

The Liberal Party pledges that if elected they will introduce legally binding targets to make Canada carbon-neutral by 2050. This means that Canada would put the same or fewer carbon emissions into the air as compared to what is taken out.^[17][18]

If elected, a Conservative government will create a single corridor for major construction projects to run through, with the aim of minimizing environmental impacts and assessment costs.^[4]

If elected, the Bloc Québécois will ensure that Quebecers will not have to pay for the billions in debt incurred by the hydroelectric program in Newfoundland.^[9]

If elected, a Green government will maintain a fee on all sources of carbon dioxide pollution. Revenue earned from these carbon fees will be redistributed back to Canadians.^[13]

A People’s Party government would abolish the federal carbon tax and allow provinces to decide for themselves if they would like to reduce their own emissions through carbon pricing.^[11]

Québec has asked Ottawa to increase health transfers by 6% per year, to cover up to 25% of Québec's total cost. Without the increase, the Bloc expects there will be losses of $14 billion in the next decade that would lead to cuts in health services.^[9]

If elected, a Conservative government will maintain the minimum 3% annual increase for the Canada Health Transfer. It would also invest $1.5 billion in MRI and CT machines to cut wait times for important diagnostic imaging.^[4]

If elected, the People’s Party will replace the Canada Health Transfer (payments sent to each province from the federal government to fund healthcare) with a tax credit worth the same amount. The intention of this policy is to give provinces and territories more power in dealing with their specific healthcare challenges, such as long wait times. Poorer provinces will be temporarily compensated more if the tax credit is worth less than the Health Transfer.^[20][21]

An NDP government would fight privatization and user fees in the Canadian healthcare system.^[23][24]

A Green government would eliminate two-tier healthcare in Canada (where all citizens have basic care but can pay for additional, faster, or better quality care).^[13][22]

If re-elected, the Liberals will set clear national standards for access to mental health services, and continue to improve access to homecare and palliative care.^[19]

If elected, an NDP government will invest $10 billion every year and work alongside provincial governments to fund prescription drugs for all Canadians.^[28][29]

The PPC is opposed to a centralized national pharmacare program.The PPC believes our Constitution should be respected and opposes federal intrusions into provincial jurisdictions. This means that health care, including pharmacare, is an area of exclusive provincial jurisdiction.

If elected, a Conservative government will lower the price of drugs and improve access to those who cannot afford it. It will not introduce a multibillion-dollar plan that will require higher taxes and an end to private insurance plans.^[27]

If elected, a Green government will expand the single-payer Medicare system to include Pharmacare for everyone as well as free dental care for low-income Canadians.^[13]

A re-elected Liberal government would move forward with three foundational elements of national pharmacare: (1) A Canadian Drug Agency to coordinate assessment and negotiation of prescription drug prices on behalf of Canadians; (2) a ‘national formulary’ that provides a comprehensive, evidence-based list of prescribed drugs; and (3) a national strategy for high-cost drugs for rare diseases to ensure better access to the effective treatments for Canadians.^[25][26]

The Bloc will work to change the current mechanism used to set the cost of prescription medication.^[30]

The Bloc will use its right to diplomacy during international parliamentary missions to promote Québec, its sovereignty project, and to develop a network of sympathizers to Québec’s cause.^[9]

If elected, a People’s Party will continue working with international allies while remaining out of conflicts unless there is a national interest to get involved.^[31][31]

If elected, an NDP government will commit 0.7% of Canada’s Gross National Income to international development assistance.^[32][33]

If elected, a Conservative government will always stand up for Canada’s interests on the world stage. A Conservative government would repair relationships with key allies and reinvigorate the alliances with our democratic allies.^[4]

A Green government would Increase Canada’s overseas development assistance budget to be 0.7 % of the Gross National Income (GNI). In 2018, Canada spent approximately $6.1 billion or 0.28 % of the GNI.^[13]

A Conservative government will boost the Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) to help with savings for postsecondary education by increasing the government’s contribution from 20 percent to 30 percent for every dollar invested, up to $2,500 per year.^[4]

If elected, a Green government will work towards abolishing tuition and allocate $10 billion towards post-secondary and trade school supports.^[13]

A Bloc Québecois government would demand that federal investments in job training programs be invested in programs already in place in Quebec.^[9]

If elected, an NDP government will work with provinces to cap and reduce tuition fees at post-secondary institutions and eventually work towards integrating post-secondary education into the public education system.^[35][36]

The PPC believes our Constitution should be respected and opposes federal intrusions into provincial jurisdictions. Education and training is an area of exclusive provincial jurisdiction.

If re-elected, a Liberal government will invest $100 million into skills training for workers in green industries.^[34]

The Bloc Québécois has asked for $300 million in reimbursement for the fees incurred at the provincial level for housing, healthcare and education of asylum seekers, despite it being a federal responsibility.^[9]

A Conservative government would work immediately to restore the fairness, order and compassion of our immigration system. If elected, a Conservative government will end illegal border crossings into Canada and close loopholes in the Safe-Third Country Agreement to make a fairer immigration system.^[4]

If re-elected, a Liberal government will move forward with two programs. First, a Municipal Nominee Program will allow local communities, chambers of commerce, and local labour councils to directly sponsor permanent immigrants. Second, the Atlantic Immigration Pilot that currently supports greater immigration across Atlantic Canada would be made permanent. At least 5,000 new spaces will be dedicated to each of these programs.^[1]

To reunite families, an elected NDP government would end the cap to sponsor parents and grandparents to come to Canada and reduce backlogs to speed up the process.^[41][42]

If elected, a Green government will end the Temporary Foreign Workers Program and increase immigration where there are worker shortages.^[13][40]

A People’s Party government would reduce the number of annual immigrants to between 100,000 and 150,000 (this number is lower than the current target of 330,000). The People’s Party immigration policy will place emphasis on specialized economic immigrants and reduce numbers in the categories of family reunification and refugees.^[37][38][39]

The PPC believes our Constitution should be respected and opposes federal intrusions into provincial jurisdictions. Housing is an area of exclusive provincial jurisdiction.

A Green government would legislate housing as a legally protected fundamental human right for all Canadians and permanent residents.^[13]

The Bloc Québécois will work to maintain current convention grants (affordable rental rates), while enhancing the budget allocated to the construction, renovation and transformation of affordable and social housing.^[9]

The Liberals would move forward with a First-Time Home Buyer Incentive. This would take up to ten percent off the price of a home to provide more help to Canadians living in higher-cost housing markets (to begin, the incentive will be available for those living in the greater Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria regions).^[43]

An NDP government would invest $5 billion in the first 18 months of their term to provide affordable housing and build 500,000 affordable units over 10 years.^[35][36]

If elected, a Conservative government will focus on increasing the affordable housing supply by reducing regulations in provinces and municipalities that discourage new home construction. To achieve this, a Conservative government would introduce the Build More Homes Competition that would reward municipalities that have proven to reduce regulations that stand in the way of new home construction.^[44][4]

If elected, an NDP government will modernize and expand public transit across Canadian communities. Federal transit funds will be directed towards scaling up low carbon transit and electrifying transit fleets by 2030.^[15][16]

The Liberals believe that public transit is a key part of what makes our communities better places to live. In Budget 2016 and 2017, the Liberals invested $28.7 billion in transit upgrades and improvements. A re-elected Liberal government will contribute an additional $3 billion more per year in stable, predictable transit funding to Canadian cities.^[45][1]

If elected, a Conservative government would introduce a Green Public Transit Tax Credit, which will give Canadians a 15% rebate on their bus passes and other public transit costs.^[4]

The PPC believes our Constitution should be respected and opposes federal intrusions into provincial jurisdictions. Transit is an area of exclusive provincial jurisdiction.

For the Bloc, it's simple: The amounts dedicated to infrastructure must be transferred unconditionally and in bulk to the Government of Quebec. The only exception to this rule would be for federal wharves and small regional ports.^[9]

If elected, a Green government will create a smart National Transportation Strategy.^[13]

An NDP government will implement a national universal child care program.^[28][29]

If elected, a Green government will immediately increase federal child care funding to achieve the international benchmark of at least 1% of GDP spent on child care annually. The Green party would add $1 billion in funding each year until this benchmark is met.^[13]

A Conservative government plans to reinstate the children’s fitness and arts tax credit which will give parents a tax break of $150 for enrolling kids in sports classes and $75 for arts or learning programs.^[4]

A re-elected Liberal government would increase the Canada Child Benefit by 15% for children under the age of one. This will amount to up to an additional $1,000 for new parents.^[46]

The PPC believes our Constitution should be respected and opposes federal intrusions into provincial jurisdictions. Child care is an area of exclusive provincial jurisdiction.

If re-elected, a Liberal government will enact new legislation to improve the quality of health care for Indigenous people. This legislation would be co-developed with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit governments to meet the unique needs of each Indigenous group.^[47]

An NDP government would seek to reconcile the relationship between the Crown and Indigenous groups across Canada. To do this, the NDP would develop a National Action Plan for Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. This plan would ensure that Canada’s laws, policies, and practices are consistent with Canada’s human rights commitments under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action.^[50]

If elected, a Green government will abolish the federal Indian Act to allow Indigenous Peoples to govern themselves.^[13][49]

The Bloc proposes to work to develop administrative autonomy, particularly in education, justice, and culture for First Nations communities based on the example of la Paix des braves. La Paix des braves is an agreement between the Cree Nation and the Government of Quebec.^[30]

If elected, the People’s Party will change or abolish the Indian Act to create a new relationship with First Nations groups. A People’s Party government will respect the treaties already signed.^[48]

If elected, a Conservative government will ensure that infrastructure projects involve Indigenous consultations in the forefront of the planning process.^[4]
