'People are telling us again and again that they are fed up with and frustrated with Justin Trudeau,' NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said on the first day back of the fall sitting.
WATCH: Singh says Liberal- NDP deal 'accomplished a lot' for Canada , one day after he ‘ripped up’ the supply and confidence agreement between the two parties. – Sep 5, 2024Singh was speaking to reporters in Ottawa on the first day back for MPs as Parliament returned after summer break.People are telling us again and again that they are fed up with and frustrated with Justin Trudeau , who has let big corporate grocery stores rip them off,” Singh said.
Fewer Canadians felt that way about the incumbent prime minister, however, with 26 per cent saying Trudeau was their top pick for the job. Singh was not far behind with the support of 23 per cent of Canadians. Singh said his party’s focus in the upcoming fall session will be on affordable housing, lowering grocery prices and rents as well as fixing the health care system, although specific health care systems are under provincial jurisdiction, not federal.We know that in the next election, there’s going to be an important choice — a choice of Conservative cuts under Pierre Poilievre or New Democrats who strengthen the programs you need.
In exchange, the Liberals counted on NDP support on budgets and any other matters of confidence that would have toppled the government if the Liberals had lost a vote.
