Our Latest
In September 2025, 33 young Canadians selected through a civic lottery deliberated for five days in Ottawa and delivered their climate priorities directly to Parliament, showing how deliberative democracy can cut through polarization and focus on solutions that reflect the values of a generation. Drawn from nearly 700 applicants, members represented every region and the full socio-demographic diversity of Canada.
Together, they distilled their collective insights into a report. This report includes a total of 23 recommendations in direct response to one central question – What do young Canadians want Parliament to do to meet Canada’s climate commitments in a way that reflects their values and priorities?

What We Do
PUBLIC DELIBERATION
Over the past 19 years, MASS LBP has delivered more than 50 citizens’ assemblies and reference panels across Canada. A citizens’ assembly is a representative and randomly selected policy jury that has the opportunity to be informed, consider a range of perspectives, and through facilitated dialogue reach consensus recommendations that government or public bodies can use, knowing they are backed by the people they serve.
This approach has gained international traction and prompted new policy on reproductive rights and same sex marriage in Ireland, and spurred ambition on climate policy in France, UK, and Scotland. Eupen, Belgium created a permanent Citizen Council composed to establish and oversee one to three Citizens' Assembly every year.
