| Conservatives Strengthen Canada's Democracy |
July
2008 |
Dear Constituent,
Now that it's summer, democratic reform is probably the last thing on most people's
minds. But it's still a good time to review our Conservative government's ambitious
plan for democratic reform.
This month I just wanted to give you an update about what our Conservative government's
been doing to make Canada more democratic.
For example, we're fixing the Democratic Deficit by reforming the Senate, fixing
election dates, and making the House of Commons more responsive to changes in
population.
If you're interested in learning more about what our Conservative government's
been doing, more information is available for you here.
I wish you and your family all the best for a safe and fun summer season.
Best regards,
- Rick

Making the Senate Democratic
and Accountable:
Our Conservative government is working to create an accountable Senate consistent
with the values, principles and traditions of democracy. The Senate will be accountable
for the decisions it makes, the work it does, and the money it spends. Accountability
and democracy will finally come to the Senate.

Fixed Election Dates - Delivered:
Just over a year ago, our government's Fixed Election Dates bill became law.
This will help Canadians hold the government more accountable by holding elections
at predicted times, not when it best suits the governing party.

Restoring Representation by Population:
Last autumn our government introduced a bill which will end the current practice
of penalizing provinces for having a faster than average population growth by
changing the MP allocation formula.
