NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is pulling his party out of the supply-and-confidence agreement that’s helping keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority Liberals in power.
Going forward, this means the Liberals will have to look for political support on a case-by-case basis on key votes, such as budgets, in order to stay afloat and stave off a potential election. Poilievre’s pitch was for Singh to side with the Conservatives and vote non-confidence in the government when the House of Commons resumes in an effort to try and force an early election this fall, rather than wait until the fixed election date of October 2025. At the time, NDP House Leader Peter Julian told reporters that “leaving the deal is always on the table for Jagmeet Singh.”
Based on what they were hearing at the doors, there was also a desire for the New Democrats to sever their ties with Trudeau ahead of a key Sept. 16 federal byelection in Montreal where the party is fighting to win a Liberal seat.In the years since the deal was secured, the federal government with the help of the NDP has advanced a series of policies.
Left outstanding are a series of electoral reform-related initiatives that are still working through the House with amendments ahead, as well as implementing a safe long-term care act.
