OTTAWA — Jagmeet Singh took a victory lap at his New Democrat caucus meeting on Wednesday in a speech that praised his party’s wins in the recent federal budget. But noticeably absent from the NDP leader’s speech, and from the 2023-24 spending plan, was any mention of one of his party’s biggest priorities: pharmacare.
The confidence-and-supply agreement requires the government to table legislation on a pharmacare framework by the end of the calendar year in exchange for the NDP’s support on key votes in the House of Commons.
