Explanation of Grading System
Generally parties were given some points for addressing an issue, but received higher grades for a more detailed proposal. If an issue was not mentioned, parties received an "F" for "Failed to Address".
Calculations for the Green Grade were as follows:
Failed to Address = 0 points, D= 1, C = 2, B = 3, A = 4.
Note: Parties were graded on their platforms only, not their prior statement or actions.
The Election Platform Report Card was produced on behalf of Sierra Legal Defence Fund, Sierra Club of Canada, WildCanada.net, Canadian Environmental Law Association, IFAW Canada and Greenpeace Canada.

Note:
In a review not part of the Federal Election Environment Report Card, the Sierra Club of Canada ranked the Green Party of Canada's environment platform ahead of other parties. (Click here to read about Sierra Club of Canada's 'eco-olympics' evaluation.)
