The Liberals have done enough to honour their agreement with the NDP, but that doesn't mean the federal budget will pass without opposition.
"We still have critiques and criticisms," NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Thursday. "We're concerned, deeply concerned, about the approach on the environment."
Yves-Francois Blanchet, for his part, said he thinks the Liberals intend to be "the instrument" of the oil and gas industry. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said the commitment to double the number of homes built annually over the next decade is the "landmark ambition" of this budget. Interim Conservative leader Candice Bergen said the Official Opposition didn't find what it was looking for in the housing plan.The Tories have spent the last several weeks in question period referring to Thursday as the release of Canada's first NDP budget, demanding to know whether the Liberals would give in to the NDP's "extreme demands.""The Liberals that we knew even 10 years ago ceased to exist.
