"We will fix Canada’s broken voting system and make every vote count. For too long, our electoral system has distorted results and denied millions of Canadians real representation. In 2025, New Democrats will make sure it’s the last election held under this outdated, unfair system—ten years after the Liberals promised change and failed to act.

Unlike the Liberals, we will actually deliver. We will establish an independent citizens assembly to advise on how best to put in place a Mixed-Member proportional system in time for the next federal election. This will ensure that the next Parliament truly reflects the choices of voters."

"In the context of significant uncertainty, and in an abundance of caution, our fiscal plan will set aside an additional amount each year as a contingency fund.

"The NDP’s fiscal target over a four-year mandate is a falling debt-GDP ratio by the fourth year at the latest.

As the Minister of Finance said at the time, “only 0.13 per cent of Canadians—with an average annual income of $1.4 million—will be affected by this change in any given year. But millions more, especially younger Canadians, will benefit from it.”" — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19
