The CPF will help develop an understanding of important political issues in the Canadian Government. The purpose of a democracy is so that the Canadian population can have a say, and in the CPF we wish to develop the student body’s knowledge and support of the important issues that are occurring in Canada daily. With the CPF acting in a non-judgmental manner to help spread knowledge of political i
ssues to Carleton students, it will help bring up more young voters in Ottawa and also in time, the entire country. This organizations purpose is to have a safe environment for groups of students that believe in different ideas, to debate their political opinions so that we as a club can submit the decisions made after debates to Parliament as demands. Demands are when a group of people come together to ask the government for action on an issue, this demand is submitted to the government, which then ultimately is discussed and a decision on the issue will be returned to the organization and public. The CPF will hold debates between its members in a structured manner, (See Section III for explanation on Structure) and at the end of each year, submit the ideas to Parliament.
