Free, reliable, and equitable access to education, healthcare, representation, safety, and justice systems form the lowest acceptable standard that provides for the needs of any human living in any society. We will continue to increase taxes on the ultrawealthy until we have enough money to fund all of these critical social programs for everyone without burdening the average Canadian.

The RPC will enact a national strategy which requires Canada to be at least net zero emissions (all GHGs) by 2045 and to be materially net negative by 2050.

The RPC will legislate complete and irrevocable net neutrality across all public core networks.

The RPC update the Canada Health Act (CHA) to explicitly prohibit privatization of any aspect of healthcare (e.g., family doctors, dentists, hospitals, labs) in Canada. To give this policy de facto, as well as de jure power, the RPC will make all future federal transfer credits to provinces entirely conditional on each province's exclusive use of public healthcare systems. Any province which privatizes any portion of essential healthcare services will immediately and continually be disqualified from transfers until they entirely revoke the privatization. Specifically, changes such as those proposed in 2023 by the Ontario government[source] are unethical and have been proven ineffective, so we will update Canadian federal laws to irrevocably prohibit future governments from selling our healthcare system to the highest bidder one piece at a time.

The RPC will immediately implement a policy deprioritizing international interventionism, instead favouring a socialist policy of leading-by-pacifist-example; Canada will continue to invest in peace-keeping missions, but will actively refrain from participating in any and all armed conflicts except as a last resort to prevent humanitarian crises, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

The RPC will reduce the maximum length from 5 years to 1 month to reflect the intended temporary, reactive nature of its use as a response to emergencies. Simply put, by having a maximum term of the clause the same length as politicians' term of office they effectively have the ability to indefinitely ignore the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms overriding court rulings and violating the separation of power.
