The Conservatives have launched a petition to end diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) criteria for government funding, saying merit-based prioritization and fiscal discipline should be restored instead.
The petition calls for an end to DEI metrics for government funding and supports the Conservative’s plan to “restore fiscal discipline, end the billion-dollar DEI bureaucracies, and put taxpayer dollars into services Canadians actually need.”
