360-Hour Replacement
NDP Promise
Bring the eligibility threshold back to a minimum of 360 working hours, regardless of
the unemployment rate in the applicants area; Megan Leslie, April 30th, 2013
- NDP on Employment Insurance, April 30, 2013. http://meganleslie.ndp.ca/ndp-onemployment-insurance
As the last proposition, I would propose that we return the qualifying period to a
minimum of 360 hours of work, irrespective of the regional rate of unemployment. This
is a critically important proposition. Matthew Kellway, October 1st, 2012
- Matthew Kellway Outlines Impact of Changes to EI Program, October 1st, 2012.
http://matthewkellway.ndp.ca/matthew-kellway-outlines-impact-of-changes-to-eiprogram
We called for eliminating the two-week waiting period for people to qualify for EI
benefits, returning the qualifying period to a minimum of 360 hours of work regardless of
the regional rate of unemployment, raising the rate of benefits to 60% rather than what it
is today and improving the quality and monitoring of training and retraining across the
country, so that individuals have the ability to improve their skills while they are on EI
benefits. Rathika Sitsabaiesan, September 27, 2012

GIS
NDP Promise
An NDP government will complete the work started by Jack Layton and boost
the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) by $400 million, as well as consult
with experts and stakeholders to ensure seniors that are most in need will
benefit from this initiative. The NDP has already committed to reversing Stephen
Harpers plan to raise the eligibility for Old Age Security from 65 to 67.

Mulcair said that the NDP would start by increasing GIS by $100 million rising to
$400 million year 4.

DayCare
NDP Promise
Tom Mulcair and the New Democrats will create a Canadian early childhood education
and childcare program with a goal that parents wont pay more than $15 per day per
child. Heres how:
Work with the provinces, territories and Indigenous communities to fund and
develop national early childhood education and childcare programs delivered with
common principles like affordability, availability and quality.
Enshrine the program in legislation.
Ensure long-term, predictable funding so provinces and communities can plan
ahead: this will be phased in over an eight year time period.
Set measurable benchmarks with publically available reporting.
Support or maintain the creation of one million new childcare spaces within eight
years, when the program is fully phased in.
Recognize that provinces and territories have jurisdiction over the delivery of early
childhood education and child care.
Mulcairs plan progressively boosts federal investment in childcare. After eight years,
this annual federal investment will have increased by $5 billion. The first step, to be
achieved within four years, is to fund 370,000 new affordable childcare spaces with an
annual investment of $1.9 billion.

Mail Delivery
NDP Promise
An NDP Government will cancel Canada Posts plan to eliminate door-to-door mail
delivery and will reinstate delivery in all communities affected by cuts announced in

The one-year cost for reversing the community mailbox policy is estimated to be
between $400M and $500M per year.
These estimates are derived from Canada Posts own action plan, which places the
annual savings at full implementation the following way:

Destination Canada
NDP Promise and Costing
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair's Campaign for Change was in Niagara Falls today,
where Mulcair announced his plan to promote tourism in Canada.
An NDP government will attract more visitors from the United States with a $30
million investment, over the next three fiscal-years, in Destination Canada, for
its Connecting America campaign. This will support small business owners, as
well as create jobs and economic opportunities for our tourism, hospitality and
related sectors.

Disaster Preparedness
NDP Promise and Costing
Specifically, the NDP will restore funding for the Joint Emergency Preparedness
Program and for training programs previously provided by the Emergency
Preparedness College. The NDP will also sit down with the provinces to
strengthen the Disaster Financial Assistance Agreements to respond as
disasters become more frequent.
- http://www.ndp.ca/news/mulcair-announces-federal-action-wildfires-and-floodsafety
The NDP says they will spend $9 million a year on this promise:
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair promised Tuesday to inject a "modest" $9 million into natural
disaster prevention and relief as Western Canada reels from one of its worst wildfire
seasons on record.
Mulcair campaigned Tuesday in British Columbia, where days ago a raging blaze tore
through the province's Interior, destroying dozens of homes and forcing hundreds to flee
at a moment's notice.
During a stop on the island earlier in the day, Mulcair committed to restoring $7 million
in annual funding to a Joint Emergency Preparedness Program to bolster training and
equipment against natural disasters.
"An NDP government will assist provinces to keep Canadians safe from fires and
floods as the effects of climate change worsen," said Mulcair.
He made the announcement outside a regional park on Vancouver Island, flanked by a
troop of local NDP candidates and members of the Nanaimo Fire Department.
A New Democrat government would sit down with the provinces and territories to
discuss strengthening how financial assistance is provided in disaster situations, he
said. An additional $2 million would be earmarked for disaster training programs, which
he says were cut under the Harper administration.

Police Funding
NDP Promise and Costing
To help police protect our communities, an NDP government will work with
provinces, territories, municipalities and First Nations to provide stable, ongoing
funding to put 2,500 new officers on the streets and keep them there. To
achieve this goal, the NDP will re-establish the Police Officer Recruitment Fund
that was cancelled by Stephen Harper, with a $250 million investment over the
next four fiscal-years, followed by permanent ongoing funding of $100 million
annually.
