To keep things organized I’m going to put each platform section as it’s own top level comment for people to discuss underneath. This is copy & paste from the website linked but I’m highlighting all the measurable promises. Feel free to comment anything I’ve missed.

    Creating good jobs in a sustainable economy

    With the Trump administration’s illegal tariffs, it’s more important than ever that we make our economy competitive and resilient. We will create good-paying union jobs in electric vehicle manufacturing, construction, energy efficiency retrofitting and renewable power.

    New Democrats are committed to our Build Canadian, Buy Canadian Plan to boost our domestic economy and create a stronger and more independent economy. As part of this plan we would develop sector-specific industrial strategies for energy, mining, manufacturing, buildings and transportation, with workers at the table every step along the way, with the goal of accelerating Canada’s clean energy transition and attracting new investment in communities across the country. And we would provide additional supports to train more workers for tomorrow’s green economy. Our goal will be to support good, new jobs in clean industries, and support the decarbonization of essential industries like steelmaking, cement-making, transportation and others.

    Local communities should receive the economic benefits and jobs from low-carbon projects. Community Benefits Agreements between community, labour, governments and employers for all federally-funded infrastructure projects will ensure communities get what they need to prosper.

    We recognize that clean electricity will be critical to building a competitive economy that supports people in local communities. We will aim to power Canada with net-zero electricity by 2035, moving to 100% non-emitting electricity by 2045. To support this goal we will bring together provinces and terriroties to prioritize the building of an East-West interprovincial power grid.
