Liberal Party

The Liberal Party of Canada in Alberta is dedicated to the principles that have historically sustained the Party: individual freedom, responsibility and human dignity in the framework of a just society, and political freedom in the framework of meaningful participation by all persons. The Liberal Party of Canada in Alberta is bound by the Constitution of Canada, including the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the Liberal Party of Canada Constitution, and is committed to the pursuit of equality of opportunity for all persons, to the enhancement of our unique and diverse cultural community, to the recognition that English and French are official languages of Canada, and to the preservation of the Canadian identity in a global society. In accordance with this philosophy, the Liberal Party of Canada in Alberta subscribes to the fundamental rights and freedoms of persons under the rule of law and commits itself to the protection of these essential values and their constant adaption to the changing needs of modern Canadian and Alberta society. The Liberal Party of Canada in Alberta recognizes that human dignity in a democratic system requires that all citizens have access to full information concerning the policies and leadership of the Party; the opportunity to participate in open and public assessment of such means, and such modification of policies and leadership as they deem desirable to promote the political, economic, social, cultural and general well-being of Canadians. To realize this objective, the Liberal Party of Canada in Alberta strives to provide a flexible and democratic structure whereby all Albertans can obtain such information, participate in such assessment and work for such reform through open communication, free dialogue and participatory action both electoral and non-electoral. The Liberal Party of Canada in Alberta is committed to the principle that fairness and equity will apply in all matters within the Party and with other political parties; to respect the dignity and worth of all people; to the free exchange of ideas among party members and among Canadians; to the full and equitable participation of all members; to respect the laws of Alberta and of Canada; and to fairness in electoral competition. This Constitution sets forth the institutions, systems and procedures by which the Liberal Party of Canada in Alberta, in cooperation with the Liberal Party of Canada, works to implement ideas on behalf of its members.
