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The Trudeau government had originally made 569 promises in its 2021 campaign platform and press releases.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.

3.05.61 - “A re-elected Liberal government will continue to transform public transit in Canada by: Committing to make High Frequency Rail a reality. We will move forward with the project in the Toronto to Quebec City corridor, with stops in Trois-Rivières and Peterborough, among others, using electrified technology. We will launch a procurement process by the end of 2021 and also explore other opportunities to extend the rail toward London and Windsor”

Forward. For Everyone.

« Trois consortiums se sont finalement qualifiés pour réaliser avec VIA Rail le projet de train à grande fréquence (TGF) du gouvernement fédéral entre Toronto et Québec, dont un groupe franco-québécois baptisé Cadence. […] L’appel de qualification étant terminé, les consortiums retenus seront maintenant invités à répondre à la demande de propositions – l’appel d’offres, en quelque sorte – que le ministre promet de lancer en septembre. L’évaluation des soumissions devrait pour sa part se dérouler à l’été 2024. »
