Party Program
Party policy was adopted at the founding convention and was expanded at a policy convention in Saskatoon in April 1988.
The party's basic policy statements were the following:
- independence as the only way Westerners could get political and economic justice;
- the constitutional right to private property;
- the citizen's right to referendum on major issues including the constitution and constitutional amendments;
- English as the official language; and
- an elected, equal and effective Senate.
