For this federal election cycle, the Canadian Association of Professional Employees (CAPE) reached out to as many candidates as possible from each major political party across Canada with questions to get their views on 10 specific issues.



The goal was to collect information potentially relevant and important to CAPE members that is currently not easily available in the public space.



Please find here a compilation of all the answers we have received to read what the candidates had to say!
