Government promises
Every commitment the Prime Minister has formally tasked each minister with via a mandate letter. Two cycles covered:
- 2015–2019 (Trudeau 42nd Parliament) — 430 commitments, with PCO-reported progress status.
- 2021 (Trudeau 44th Parliament) — 760 commitments. Letters were published but PCO never released a public status tracker for this cycle, so no progress data.
The Carney government (2025–, 45th Parliament) hasn't been ingested yet — it's on the roadmap.
Why does the status disappear after 2019?
The Privy Council Office's public mandate-letter tracker only ran for the 2015–2019 cycle. After that election the tracker was quietly retired — the 2021 mandate letters were published as text but the government never restored a public progress tracker. So no official Canadian source reports commitment-level status for 2021 onward.
Coming soon: we're building an LLM-curated status layer that scans government press releases, departmental progress reports, and news mentions to estimate progress on the 2021+ commitments. It will be clearly labelled as kyg-assessed, not government-reported, with the reasoning + sources shown for each commitment. Refresh cadence will be monthly.
Don't want the gap papered over without a clear signal of who's making the call.
