	National Policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The policy quickly became one of the most central aspects of Canadian politics, and it played an important role in keeping the Tories in power until 1896, when Wilfrid Laurier and the Liberals campaigned on a promise to keep the National Policy in place.
		In the years right after the policy was introduced, Canada experienced the same type of economic boom that many other nations experienced, as well as the construction of a manufacturing base and the development of the nation, which is generally what the Tories and economic nationalists use to justify the policy.
		The National Policy was a Canadian economic program introduced by John A. Macdonald's Conservative Party in 1879 after it returned to power.
