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The Trudeau government had originally made 569 promises in its 2021 campaign platform and press releases.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

For an analysis of the achievements of Justin Trudeau’s first government (2015-2019), see Birch and Pétry (2019), Assessing Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Government. 353 promises and a mandate for change, published by Les Presses de l’Université Laval.

Justification

The first part of the investment promise has been fulfilled. However, information is lacking on specific support for the Inuit of Inuit Nunangat.

“Budget 2022 committed $4 billion to support housing for First Nations on reserves, Inuit, Métis and First Nations Self-Governing and Modern Treaty communities. Today’s announcement includes an additional $281.5 million to support housing in urban, rural and northern Indigenous communities, which is to be distributed through the National Indigenous Collaborative Housing Incorporated. // Budget 2023 provided for an additional $4 billion, over seven years, starting in 2024-25, to implement a co-developed Urban, Rural, and Northern Indigenous Housing Strategy led by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. This will allow for longer term conversations and strategies around housing between the Government of Canada and partners, including National Indigenous Organizations and grassroots organizations”
