Mission

Liberal Renaissance is an open association of members of the Liberal Party of Canada and other liberal Canadians committed to revitalizing the party by: empowering people; reforming Party governance structures; and fostering forward-looking policy development. Specifically, Liberal Renaissance will work for party renewal along the following "3P" lines:

1. People - Build a progressive coalition of like-minded Canadians who recognize that the Party must not simply regroup but reform, while creating a climate of inclusiveness and dynamism for a new generation of party members and Canadians in general.

2. Policy - Support genuine policy renewal processes that seek to achieve a truly compelling national vision and reflect liberal values and priorities while capturing, once again, the imagination, respect and confidence of Canadians.

3. Party - Encourage participation of Liberal members in all Party decisions, operations and structures through a fundamental and democratic reform of Party governance and organizational structures where ultimate accountability will rest with the membership.

The above includes assessing and supporting candidates for all levels of office - from the riding association to national leadership - according to their demonstrated commitment to real renewal.
