Democracy matters, debates count : a report on the 2019 Leaders' Debates Commission and the future of debates in Canada.CP22-187/2020E-PDF

"Leaders' debates play an essential role in Canada's federal elections. These debates engage Canadians in the electoral campaign. They help to inform by providing a forum to compare prospective prime ministers, while giving more information on different political parties and their policy platforms. In 2018, a Leaders' Debate Commission was created to organize leaders' debates for the 2019 election. Led by an independent commissioner and supported by a seven-member advisory board, the Commission's mandate was to organize two leaders' debates (one in each official language). On June 1, 2020, the Leaders' Debates Commission released a report on its experiences organizing debates during the 2019 election. This report includes findings and recommendations to inform the future of debates in Canada, and a principal recommendation to establish a permanent, publicly funded entity to organize leaders' debates"--Provided by publisher.
