Green platform promises big, largely uncosted social programs, end to fossil fuel industry
Without holding a formal platform launch featuring party leader Annamie Paul, the Green Party of Canada has quietly released a series of largely uncosted promises for the 2021 election campaign.
The platform proposes a new slate of social programs, such as universal pharmacare, dental care, an affordable child care plan and free university on top of the cancellation of all student debt.
While cost of the platform has not been analyzed by the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the platform estimates that the cost of a free university education would be $10.2 billion a year.
