Reconciliation platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.
We don't have any Liberal policies on Reconciliation.
We don't have any Conservative policies on Reconciliation.

Bloc
  • Entretenir et privilégier des relations de nation à nation avec les communautés autochtones
  • Travailler à la mise en œuvre des appels à l’action de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation

NDP
  • Provide long-term funding to search for grave sites at former residential schools
  • Work with nations and survivors to commemorate children who died at residential schools
  • Introduce legislation to combat residential school denialism

    "We will introduce legislation to combat residential school denialism—because truth is essential to reconciliation, and survivors deserve more than words. The House of Commons has unanimously recognized that the residential school system was a genocide, deliberately designed to erase Indigenous cultures, languages, families, and identities. Survivors and their families must be protected from hate and historical erasure." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Appoint a special prosecutor to investigate crimes against Indigenous peoples through the residential school system, with a mandate to access documents

    "We will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate crimes against Indigenous peoples through the residential school system. This special prosecutor would have a mandate to access necessary documents from religious institutions as well as government departments such as the Justice Department and Indigenous services." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Support community-driven healing initiatives to address emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental harm from the residential school system

    "We will support community-driven healing initiatives aimed at addressing the emotional, physical, spiritual and mental harm inflicted upon communities and children inside the residential school system." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Launch a national inquiry into systemic violence and racism against Indigenous people within Canadian institutions
We don't have any Green policies on Reconciliation.
