BIENNIAL POLICY CONVENTIONS

At biennial conventions, Liberals prioritize resolutions to be considered for Party Platform.  The 2023 Convention is scheduled for May 4-6.

SLC Resolutions Advancing to Voting on the 2023 Convention Floor:

  • Save Lives – Keep Seniors Home
  • Lifting Canadian Seniors Out of Poverty
  • Primary Health Care Availability

THE LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA‘s national policy and prioritization process provides for:

  • continuous meaningful grassroots engagement amongst Senior Registered Liberals;
  • a democratic, transparent and accessible process;
  • promotion of diversity, bilingualism and gender equity;
  • provision for Senior Registered Liberals to provide input on public affairs and contribute resolutions for election platform consideration;
  • regular reporting on the status of prioritized resolutions.

CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT is the process by which the Senior Liberals` Commission (SLC) engages with Senior Registered Liberals (60 +) to participate in the public affairs of Canada.

This process is conducted by advocating and supporting Liberal values, philosophies and principles; and by engaging in forums to:

  • improve Party policies;
  • provide input on new and emerging issues;
  • advocate for policy implementation;
  • contribute to the electoral platform through the submission of resolutions.

SLC Resolutions for Party Platform Consideration:

  • Improving Mental Health Services
  • Choices in Aging for Lower Costs, Better Lives
  • Caring for Family Caregivers
  • Accessible, Reliable, and Affordable Internet as an Essential Service
  • Raising the Limit for the Canadian Caregiver Amount
  • Aging in Place in a Rural Setting

Past prioritized resolutions can be viewed in SLC Policy 2021 and SLC Policy Discussion Update (2017-2018).
