Where Ideas Become Our Future

• Ignite the Next Generation with a Youth Policy Convention and Young Liberal Policy Scholarship

Build a powerful youth movement that inspires participation, counters rising external influences like Turning Point USA, and gives young Liberals the tools, space, and support to shape the future of our party.

The Young Liberal Policy Scholarship will launch a national high school policy competition that engages students directly, invites them to submit real policy ideas, and rewards the strongest proposals with scholarships and the opportunity to present at a national Youth Policy Convention. This initiative will create a direct pipeline between the youngest and brightest minds in Canada and our national policy process, ensuring fresh ideas are heard, developed, and elevated into the broader movement.

• National Rural Policy Strategy

It is time we build a national Rural strategy, and it starts by ensuring every policy is looked at through a rural lens. Here is how the rural lens happens in practice. Policy proposals and major policy priorities will be reviewed through the National Rural Caucus and a dedicated Rural Policy Committee structure, so rural impacts are assessed early, not after decisions are made. That rural review will feed clear recommendations into the national policy stream, ensuring advice is formally elevated to party leadership and reflected in our national campaign priorities. This work must be done in partnership with the Rural Caucus leadership, including outreach and coordination through the Co Chairs, and aligned with the Rural Caucus Chair at the national level. Our caucus structure already has the foundation to do this, including sub caucus capacity, and we should use it to ensure rural Canada is built into our policy and our campaign lens from the start.

• Launch a National Multicultural Commission

Bring new voices, new ideas, and real representation to the table by creating a dynamic commission that energizes engagement across Canada’s diverse communities. This commission will help ensure policy development reflects lived experience, strengthens participation across communities, and creates a clearer path for ideas to be shaped, reviewed, and advanced into the party’s leadership and national agenda

• Bring Policy Back to Life with Regional and Commission In-Person Conferences and Practical Resources for EDA's

Turn policy into an experience again through high-energy, in-person gatherings that reconnect members and spark bold ideas, while keeping virtual engagement as a strong national pillar. In years without a biennial convention, we will host a national policy conference to maintain momentum and give members a clear moment to collaborate and move ideas forward.

We will shift from a single convention moment to a continuous, year-round policy cycle. Every EDA and PTB will receive a practical Policy Toolkit with ready-to-use templates and facilitation guides, supported by clear timelines, plain-language drafting standards, earlier coordination, and transparent reporting so members can see how their ideas advance and shape outcomes.
