When only completed, realized pledges were calculated, Harper's government, in their last year, kept 77 per cent of promises while the Liberal government kept 53.5 per cent. The book notes that Harper's pledges tended towards transactional pledges which target sub-populations while Trudeau's government's promises were transformative—ambitious pledges the Liberals took while they were the third-place party. Trudeau's government, according to the researchers, and the "last Harper government had the highest rates of follow-through on their campaign promises of any Canadian government over the last 35 years."<ref>{{Cite book \|last=Lisa \|first=François \|url=https://www.pulaval.com/produit/assessing-justin-trudeau-s-liberal-government \|title=Assessing Justin Trudeau's Liberal Government. 353
