44th Parliament of Canada
22 Nov 2021 - Present

The Canadian federal election of 2021 (officially the 44th Canadian general election) took place on September 20, 2021, and elected members of the House of Commons to Canada’s 44th Parliament. The Liberal Party, led by outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, won 160 seats, forming a second consecutive minority government.

The Trudeau government had originally made 569 promises in its 2021 campaign platform and press releases. This number was reduced to 352 by an extensive, multi-coder process of sorting promises according to their degree of precision and importance to society. Unclear and less important promises were removed from the analysis.

Justification

The government pledged an additional investment of 2 million per year. While the government did allocate additional funds for projects in the 2021-2022 budget starting in 2021, we did not find evidence of additional funding in 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 beyond what was planned in the 2019-2020 budget of this government’s first mandate.

Justification

This source shows that th emain funding came from the 2019-2020 budget and that additional funding was for other LGBTQ+ projects.

“In addition to the $20 million investment in Budget 2019 to support capacity building and community-level work by Canadian LGBTQ2 organizations, the Government of Canada has also made the following investments:

Global Affairs Canada announced more than $30 million to improve socioeconomic outcomes for LGBTQ2 people in developing countries;

The Federal Tourism Growth Strategy includes major investments in Pride events across Canada;

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada announced increased support for LGBTQI refugees fleeing violence and persecution through the Rainbow Refugee Assistance Partnership; and;

Canadian Heritage committed $2 million over two years in the Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage program for Pride and LGBTQ2 events”
