The Policy

Unlike the House of Commons, members serving in the Commission must have the necessary qualifications relevant to the seat for which they serve. For example, the Bioethics Chair might have a degree in bioethics, a degree in organic chemistry, and a decade experience working in bioethics roles (i.e., a PhD in inorganic chemistry would not be an applicable qualification for the Bioethics Chair).

The Research

Our Broader Stance on:

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.
