The Commission will primarily have the power to approve, reject, or require changes to new legislation from the House of Commons, but also to introduce new legislation, launch investigations, and refer findings for criminal investigation.
Replacing the unelected Senate, whose primary job it is to securitize new legislation, we will establish an elected Human Rights and Needs Commission with an expanded mandate to check the powers of the House of Commons.
