Reconstruction Party of Canada

The Reconstruction Party was a Canadian political party founded in 1935 by Henry Herbert Stevens, a long-time Conservative Member of Parliament (MP). Stevens served as Minister of Trade in the Arthur Meighen government of 1921, and as Minister of Trade and Commerce from 1930 to 1934 in the Depression-era government of R. B. Bennett.

Party program
Fifteen points summarized the "New National Policy of Reconstruction and Reform": • a pledge to youth, • a system of public works, including the completion of the Trans-Canada Highway, • a national housing program; and • in order to balance the budget, a Reconstruction government would administer federal taxes "through a single set of auditors" and would invite the provinces to cooperate in the system that would divide the returns on "an equitable and agreeable basis." ==See also==
