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The Trudeau government had originally made 569 promises in its 2021 campaign platform and press releases.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

« Le gouvernement fédéral veut aussi stimuler les investissements du secteur privé dans l’infrastructure de recharge. À l’heure actuelle, selon le ministère, il y a quelque 25 000 bornes de recharge publiques au Canada, dont plus de 10 000 ont été financées par Ottawa. Depuis 2016, le gouvernement a sélectionné plus de 42 000 bornes de recharge pour véhicules électriques à des fins de financement, et il s’attend à en déployer 84 500 d’ici 2029. »

« Un nouveau rapport du commissaire à l’environnement et au développement durable, Jerry V. DeMarco, révèle que le programme fédéral d’installation de bornes de recharge pour véhicules électriques est concentré dans un trop petit nombre de provinces et ne dispose d’aucune donnée montrant où se situent ses plus grandes lacunes. […] La bonne nouvelle, selon lui, c’est que Ressources naturelles Canada est en voie d’atteindre son objectif d’installer 33 500 points de recharge d’ici 2026. // En date de juillet dernier, le Programme d’infrastructure pour les véhicules à émission zéro avait approuvé et financé 33 887 points de recharge au pays. Environ 13 % d’entre eux étaient déjà opérationnels et les autres devraient l’être d’ici mars 2026, a déclaré M. DeMarco. »
