Trust in our politics needs to be re-established. By creating transparency, and protecting integrity, we can make it make sense.
Better Disclosure of LobbyingCanadians have the right to know how much money is being spent on lobbying campaigns in Ottawa. Unless we establish a public database on money in lobbying we’ll remain in the dark about the scope and scale of special interest shaping all of our laws.→ We need to require that lobbyists disclose how much they and their clients are spending on campaigns in a public database. |
Publicly Disclose Parliamentarians' Financial and Investment InterestsThe public entrusts Parliamentarians with anenormous amount of exclusive information and power. The privilege of being given that information and power rests on a trade-off of being financially transparent. Voters have the right to know the ongoing financial interest that could benefit federal politicians. → We need to end confidential disclosure to make parliamentarians' financial and investment interests accessible in a public database. |
Ban Foreign Astroturfing in our PoliticsDeceptive campaigns that manipulate and distort public opinion harm Canada’s democracy and must be banned. It’s not about what is said, but how hidden resources are used to mislead, divide, and push agendas without Canadians knowing. → We need to close the loophole that allows deceptive practices to influence our democracy between elections. |
