Canada should STOP giving taxpayer money to political parties;
Conservatives and Liberals receive millions of dollars to fund
their campaigns.
• The law should require that ALL candidates are fairly included in
debates and in taxpayer-funded media.
• CHP would review the “first-past-the-post” system and move
toward proportional representation, provided it can be done
fairly.
Most people know that our current voting system for MPs is called
“first-past-the-post” and often results in the election of individual MPs
or even parties who receive votes from less than half the eligible voters.
Thus, the governments in power are often the result of people voting
against other parties or for candidates and parties they don’t
necessarily really like but whom they consider “the lesser of two evils”
or “more likely to win”.
For this reason, the CHP has long favoured some form of “proportional
representation” whereby every party would achieve a percentage of
seats in Parliament roughly equal to the percentage of votes received.
PR has some problems of its own; there are a number of variations of it,
each of them attempting to resolve the issues. No system is perfect.
The biggest challenge for Christians is that our western society as a
whole has abandoned the Christian principles that made it great:
freedom of speech, respect for life, respect for the Creator and for the
rule of law.
CHP federal policy supports some form of proportional representation.
Some members are also suggesting other forms of electoral reform,
such as a Preferential Ballot, allowing voters to rank the candidates in
order of preference. All these systems should be looked at; if fairer and
more effective results can be achieved, the CHP would support changes
to the system.

Government budgets
Lily Eggink
CHP candidate in your district-
The CHP would pay off our national debt like a household mortgage and eliminate this drain on our operating budget. We would also institute mandatory balanced budgets.
Read more
• Canada’s federal debt is over $1.2 trillion and growing.
• Interest on that debt is $125 million every dingle day!
• Spending money we don’t have is stealing from our
grandchildren who will have to pay it back.
• Politicians are spending money they don’t have and using to “buy
votes”. This is immoral.
• The CHP would pay down the debt and introduce Mandatory
Balanced Budgets; NO deficit spending!

Just as in our own households, the health of the national economy is
negatively influenced by debt. At the time of this writing, the federal
government owes over $1.2 trillion in debt as a result of accumulative
deficit spending. This is in addition to provincial debt, municipal debt
and household debt. Taxpayers are currently paying about $125 million
in interest on the federal debt every single day!
This debt is the accumulated result of years of vote-buying by the two
largest federal parties, the Liberals and the Conservatives. We say votebuying because both parties try to influence voters by promising to
spend money for the things they think they want. Once elected, these
parties spend money they don’t have, especially before elections.
Governments actually do not have ANY money. They only have what
they can collect in taxes and what they can borrow on international
markets. The difference between the money they can raise through
taxation and the money they actually spend in a given year is called the
annual deficit (or if they spend wisely and do not spend all the tax
money, it is called a surplus). Canada’s national debt is an accumulation
of annual deficits.
The Liberals and the socialist New Democrats have long been known as
spendthrift money managers and the current government is no
exception. What is not widely known is that the last Conservative
government, which was in power for 9 years, also added significantly to
the national debt…close to $150 billion! No matter what measure you
use, that is not balancing the budget!
Since 1990, we have spent over ONE TRILLION $ in interest alone on the
federal debt! Until we pay off the national debt, we will continue to
spend money we don’t have—our grandchildren’s money—on interest
to the international bankers.
The CHP would pay off our national debt like a household mortgage
and eliminate this drain on our operating budget. We would also
institute mandatory balanced budgets except in times of war or
national emergency to prevent this debt from ever coming back

Tax fairness
Lily Eggink
CHP candidate in your district-
CHP would implement Fair Tax based on spending rather than income.
Read more
• The CHP would do away with the federal Income Tax and replace
that needed revenue with a national sales tax on purchases,
known as the “Fair Tax”.
• With NO Income Tax, Canadians would have a lot more money to
save, invest and spend.
• Canadians could control how much tax they pay by controlling
their spending.
• Governments should not be penalizing people for working harder
and longer hours.
Canada’s current system of Income Tax is wrong. Under today’s system,
the harder you work, the harder they hit you. This is a disincentive to
work hard and to invest in business. We believe it’s wrong to take
money away from those who have earned it.
The CHP would replace the income tax system with a Fair Tax—a
national sales tax based not on what you earn but on what you spend.
This gives you the power to decide how much tax you want to pay. If
you buy lots of luxury items you will pay more tax; if you control your
spending and keep your expenses low, you will benefit greatly from the
Fair Tax and will be able to keep much more of your paycheque to save,
invest or spend on the things you need. Have a look at your paycheque
and think of what you could do with the money now being skimmed by
Revenue Canada.
The Fair Tax would apply at a flat rate for all purchases. With the money
saved on income tax, many more Canadians will be able to purchase
their own homes, start their own businesses and create jobs in a
growth economy.

Transgender and non-binary people
Lily Eggink
CHP candidate in your district-
The CHP would protect children from this deceptive and harmful propaganda.
Read more
• God created two genders: male and female.
• Biological gender, DNA, etc., cannot be changed by surgery or
chemicals.
• Many children have been harmed, emotionally and physically by
the manipulation of those in positions of authority who have
imposed non-scientific and unbiblical theories and protocols
upon them, sometimes resulting in physical mutilation of their
God-given bodies and design.
• The CHP would protect children from this deceptive and harmful
propaganda.
In the beginning, God created us male and female. There are only two
biological genders.
Gender “re-assignment” is impossible because biological gender is
determined by chromosomes, which do not change. Biological gender
is—by definition—the gender of every individual.
All Canadians must treat our fellow Canadians with respect. No
Canadian should be denied Government services or the protection of
the law based on biological gender. That being said, there are qualities
that make one unfit for service in the armed forces. Acceptance in any
government job or program may be subject to a reasonable
assessment of qualities, skills and strength. No individual shall be
deemed entitled to a job, a promotion, or a grant, simply because of a
claimed gender identity inconsistent with their biological gender.
Biological males must not be allowed to participate in women’s and
girls’ sports competition. Students in school must have access to
privacy washrooms, showers and change rooms free from the presence
of members of the opposite biological sex.
Marriage is the exclusive union of one man and one woman. The
government should not recognize same-sex unions as marriage. The
CHP would repeal same-sex marriage.
LGBTQ doctrine should not be endorsed in public schools under the
guise of “anti-bullying” or “inclusion”. The government has a duty to
protect children from harmful propaganda, which can lead to
destructive lifestyle choices. Education resources should be invested in
academic programs, not in the experimental promotion of lifestyles and
behaviours known to be harmful.
