CPJ believes in a well-functioning Canadian democracy that promotes public engagement. This includes reforming our electoral system to better reflect voter intentions, establishing clarity on political engagement of charities, and renewing our parliamentary process.
Taxes are an important contribution to the common good. They raise the revenues used to pay for democratic institutions and to provide government programs and services.
CPJ works to educate the public — especially churches — on the ever-changing landscape of refugee legislation in Canada.
