Parliament passes laws that shape your rent, your healthcare, your taxes, and your future. Every Canadian has the right to know what's happening — and the power to do something about it.
Every year, Parliament passes hundreds of bills that affect your rent, your healthcare, your retirement, your children's education, and the environment you live in. Most Canadians never read a single one. Not because they don't care — but because the information has never been made genuinely accessible.
CanadianPolicy.com exists to change that. We are a free, non-partisan civic intelligence platform built for every Canadian — regardless of where you live, what language you speak, or which party you support.
Your MP is not just a vote in the House of Commons. They are your elected representative, required to hear from you. A well-written, evidence-backed letter from a constituent carries real weight.
Parliamentary committees accept submissions from ordinary citizens. An e-petition with 500 signatures forces an official government response within 45 days. These tools belong to you.
Canada's business leaders feel the effects of public policy first. They hire under its labour rules, raise capital under its securities law, move goods across its borders and build under its approvals. Yet the evidence they hold rarely reaches Parliament in a form that lawmakers can use.
We convene executives, directors and founders in structured roundtables, turn their experience into briefs that cite official sources, and deliver those briefs to MPs, parliamentary committees and ministries. Every brief names its authors' interests and stays free for all Canadians to read.
No party, caucus or government department sponsors our briefs.
Every brief names its author's interests and cites official or peer-reviewed sources.
Every published brief is open to all Canadians, with no advertising.
We see a policy process that draws on the full range of Canadian leadership, across every sector and every region. We see women executives at every roundtable, setting the agenda on capital, boards and procurement alongside their peers. And we see a public that holds the evidence in its own hands.
Executives join a working group for one focus area and meet online, so members from every region can take part. Each group settles one policy question before any drafting begins.
Members draft briefs with their peers. Each claim is checked against official sources.
Briefs go to MPs, parliamentary committees and ministries, and are published for all to read.

The Executive Policy Forum brings executives, directors and founders into structured online roundtables. Each roundtable produces a sourced, disclosed brief that goes to MPs, parliamentary committees and ministries, and to every Canadian who wants to read it.
Executives hire, raise capital, meet regulation and move goods every day. That knowledge seldom arrives in front of lawmakers in a form they can use. The Forum changes that by turning it into evidence.
Policy is drafted far from the shop floor, the trading desk and the loading dock. Lawmakers hear from advocacy groups and individual companies, and seldom from leaders who work across sectors.
Leaders meet in roundtables organized by focus area. Each group settles one question, tests it against official sources and drafts a brief with every interest on the table.
A short, sourced, non-partisan brief that MPs, committees and ministries can use, and that every Canadian can read for free.
Each roundtable starts with one policy question, drawn from a bill before Parliament or an open issue in its focus area. A working group chair confirms that the question is specific enough to answer.
Members and staff collect official sources, including the Parliamentary Budget Officer, Statistics Canada, LEGISinfo and peer-reviewed research. Members add what they see in their own companies.
The group discusses the question in a roundtable held online, so executives from every region and sector take part without travel. Discussion stays on the question and the evidence.
Members draft the brief together. Each claim is checked against an official or peer-reviewed source, and each author's interests are named on the page.
The brief goes to the relevant MPs, parliamentary committees and ministries. We publish it in full on CanadianPolicy.com, free to read and free of advertising.
Every brief follows the same short structure, so a committee clerk or a member of the public can find the answer to their question in seconds.
Briefs run to a few pages. They separate what the evidence shows from what members recommend.
Each focus area has its own working group and chair. Members join the areas they lead in and can sit in more than one.
