Policy

The Toronto Centre Young Liberals believe in the importance of ideas and policy, and encourages all members to engage with the policy process.  For five consecutive years (2006-2010), TCYL is proud to have authored strong, pertinent policies to be carried on to OYL Summer Fling.

If you have a great policy idea or are interested in learning more about the policy process, there are numerous opportunities to get involved in policy development for the Liberal Party and Ontario Young Liberals.

Please see below for copies of TCYL policies submitted to the Ontario Young Liberals, the Young Liberals of Canada, the Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario), the Liberal Party of Canada, and the Ontario Liberal Party.   These polices were all debated and considered, and can be a useful resource for new policy research areas.

In addition, the page also has copies of policies written by other Young Liberals from across Ontario for the OYL`s policy process.  Recent policy documents for the Ontario Liberal Party and the Liberal Party of Canada can also be found here.
