"Poilievre will reintroduce the Protecting Canadians by Ending Sentence Discounts for Multiple Murders Act, which the Supreme Court of Canada struck down in 2022 because, in their opinion, it was too hard on mass murderers.

"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 In 2025, New Democrats will make sure it’s the last election held under this outdated, unfair system—ten years after the Liberals promised change and failed to act.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."

"We are also committed to bringing greater transparency and accountability to the federal budget-making process.

The same task force will also ensure that we close all the loopholes that allow companies like Brookfield to stash their money in offshore tax havens to avoid paying their fair share here in Canada." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

"After a decade of increasing complexity and loopholes that benefit the wealthy and well-connected, it’s time to bring fairness and simplicity back to our tax system. We'll put people who actually build things in charge of designing a tax code that works for the Canadians who actually do the work. Within 60 days of forming government, we will launch a Tax Reform Task Force made up of farmers, builders, entrepreneurs, economists and workers—not Ottawa insiders. Their job will be to deliver a simple, fair tax code that:

1. Rewards work and saving.
2. Closes loopholes for the wealthy and well-connected.
3. Eliminates unnecessary red tape.
4. Makes it easier for Canadians to file and understand their taxes."
