Wage Campaign, the Solidarity Committee with the Communities Affected by Chevron and McMaster's Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement for solidarity with Palestine. The Convention elected a new Central Committee with a new General Secretary from Ontario. Election of CC members, according to the YCL-LJC, was done on the basis of experience – both within the YCL-LJC and in mass movements – regional and national considerations as well as the advancement of gender-oppressed and racialized people. About half of the officers of the incoming CC served on the outgoing leadership. In 2017 a new Convention was held and a Central Committee of 15 members and 5 alternates and new General Secretary, the third since the re-organization and the first from Quebec, was elected to lead the YCL-LJC. This was the 27th Central Convention of the YCL. According to their website, the convention was the largest since the YCL-LJC's re-founding in 2007. Thirty-five delegates, plus alternates and observers attended from Montréal, Toronto, Guelph, Hamilton, London, Windsor, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria for a series of debates and discussions under the slogan: “Now is time to organize against imperialism and reaction; honouring our past, we build our socialist future.” Concerning Canada, the delegates outlined the role played by the YCL-LJC in the fightback against austerity and neo-liberal policies imposed by federal and provincial governments. Outlining what they characterized the end of the "honeymoon" between certain labour and social movements and the Trudeau government, the young communists insisted on what they see as the importance to mobilize for a fundamental change in favour of policies that guarantee the interests of the youth and the people instead of the interests of the monopolies. The delegates passed a series of votes criticizing what they described as the corporate policies of the Trudeau government and shared their concerns about the danger of the rise of the ultra-right and of fascism. They supported what they labeled "a democratic and voluntary solution to the national inequality moving from the actual status quo based on the genocide of indigenous nations and the oppression of Québec and Acadian nations.". Strengthening the young communists’ analysis and work within labour and social movements as well as racialized and oppressed communities, the convention adopted our analysis that connects struggles against oppression and Marxism–Leninism. The convention also discussed the strategies to approach youth on campuses and in their workplaces to present the revolutionary political project
