PLATFORM | ELECTION 2009

A LETTER FROM GARETH HEALY
Michael Corcoran, the current leader of the Liberal Party, criticized the New Democrats as a
party that stood on its principles. Unlike Mr. Corcoran, I don’t see the problem with that.
The New Democratic Party was formed on a number of firm principles that we continue to
believe in and fight for today. We continue to stand in Parliament as Ottawa’s conscience.
We believe in what we say, and we say what
we believe.

Those principles that we still believe in today

- freedom, equality, fairness, and compassion -
come to serve as the foundational blocks for
which this platform is constructed. This party
would be no where without our principles,
and we will continue to campaign on them.

I hope that as you read on, you’ll see some of

your own principles contributing to the dialogue within our platform. We are just like you:
Canadians who believe in a more just society, a greener economy, a commitment to
peaceful interaction, and an expectation for accountable, transparent government. For
decades, New Democrats through out Canada have been called radicals. When we
instituted the first-ever public healthcare program, we were called radicals. When we
fought for the elimination of child poverty, we were called radicals. Read on, and you might
find out we are not as radical as you might have been lead to believe.

This short document is just the beginning. It should hopefully give you an idea of where we
stand and what your New Democratic candidate can do if elected to Parliament. If you have
any questions, ask us at one of the many events we will be holding coast-to-coast in our
election campaign to be your elected representatives in Ottawa.

Best wishes,

Gareth Healy
