Reconciliation platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

Liberal
  • Support Indigenous communities to uncover unmarked and undocumented graves and burial sites at residential schools

    "Move forward on the important work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and support Indigenous communities to uncover unmarked and undocumented graves and burial sites at residential schools." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-22

  • Implement the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act and the Action Plan
We don't have any Conservative policies on Reconciliation.

Bloc
  • Entretenir et privilégier des relations de nation à nation avec les communautés autochtones
  • Travailler à la mise en œuvre des appels à l’action de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation

NDP
  • Provide long-term funding to search for grave sites at former residential schools
  • Introduce legislation to combat residential school denialism

  • Work with nations and survivors to commemorate children who died at residential schools
  • Support community-driven healing initiatives to address emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental harm from the residential school system

  • Launch a national inquiry into systemic violence and racism against Indigenous people within Canadian institutions

Green
  • Fully implement all 94 Calls to Action from Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission
