CHP PLATFORM !! 1997 !!


	      Five Reasons Why 
	     Your Best Choice is 
	 	     CHP

 Your best choice for
    National Identity
       "Canada's future is coming together."
 
 CHP will work to
 - unite and reconcile Canadians from sea to sea.
 - restore ultimate legislative authority to Parliament,
   not unelected judges and bureaucrats.
 - increase your influence on government by making
   every vote count through proportional representation.
 - preserve sovereignty by combating the trend to globalism.


 Your best choice to
    Care for Canadians
      "CHP is committed to the well-being of Canadians."

 - for today: 
    an adequate standard of health and welfare for all.
 - for your tomorrow: 
    replace the bankrupt CPP, UIC & other failed plans with
    an individual security account which you will own
 - government should strengthen the natural family's role as
   the primary provider of health, education and welfare.


 Your best choice for
    Economic Security
      "CHP has a realistic plan to cut
	 unemployment to 5% within two years:

 - CHP's pro-family tax credit for parents
   who choose to care for their children at home.
 - create employment through interest-free capital investment
   in transportation and environment projects.
 - owner-operated businesses are the prime generator of jobs;
   CHP will relieve their government-imposed paperwork burden.
 - responsible development of Canada's resources
   in consultation with all stakeholders.


 Your best choice for
    Restore safe neighborhoods
	"CHP will restore justice."

 - restitution: criminals must repay victims
   and society for their crimes.
 - public safety: protect the innocent by "truth in sentencing" 
   and firm punishment for violent, sexual, drug
   and pornography crimes
 - restore private property rights
 - protect every innocent human being's right to life,
   from conception to natural death


 Your best choice for
    Fiscal Responsibility
	"CHP says, 'Stop stealing from Canada's children!"

 - legislate balanced budgets without raising taxes:	
 - pay off the national debt like a mortgage
 - simplify taxes
 - reduce bureaucratic waste - not services to people.
 - eliminate grants to special-interest groups

 THIS TIME - 	make the one choice 
	    	that can truly help 
		  heal our land!

 Message from Ron Gray, CHP Party Leader:

 Canada has been called "the best country in the world," 
 because what Canadians built together over 250 years is the envy
 of all nations.  But today, Canada is sick and divided. Most
 Canadians yearn for the days when our cities were safe, and most
 Canadian families prospered. 
 We looked forward to a brighter future - together.

 Why have we lost those enviable attainments?  Because over the
 last 30 years, the first principles of Canada's Constitution 
 - the supremacy of God and the rule of law - have no longer
 guided our decision-makers.
 
 Of all federal political parties, only CHP remains committed to
 those standards.  We believe Canadians can have hope for the
 future again.

 In your heart, you know it's true: our future depends on a
 renewed commitment to the solid moral principles of the Fathers
 of Confederation when, as the plaque at Confederation Hall
 states, "Providence being their guide, they builded better
 than they knew."

 Ron Gray
 Party Leader
