The Liberals promised to introduce the legislation by the end of this year in the confidence-and-supply agreement that would see the NDP support the minority government through to 2025
Families Minister Karina Gould is expected to introduce legislation today to strengthen child care in Canada, which is likely to include an effort to secure a long-term role for Ottawa in the new national daycare system.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later tasked Gould with introducing “federal child-care legislation to strengthen and protect a high-quality Canada-wide child-care system.” That agreement specifies the legislation would ensure “that child-care agreements have long-term protected funding that prioritizes non-profit and public spaces.”
A consultation document obtained by The Canadian Press earlier this year suggested the legislation could commit to “ongoing collaboration” between the federal, provincial and territorial governments over the system, including a pledge for “sustained federal funding.”

‘Rock and a hard place’: party insiders say managing internal divisions on gun control Singh’s ‘biggest test’ as left-leaning hunters set sights on rural, northern MPsAlthough the Liberals say they’re willing to review controversial changes to their gun-control legislation to avoid targeting common firearms used by hunters, the pressure is already mounting on the NDP to speak out as “left-leaning” hunters set their sights on MPs representing the party’s substantial rural, northwestern, and Indigenous constituencies. Following the Nov. 17 introduction of amendments to Bill C-21 by Liberal MP Paul Chiang (Markham–Unionville, Ont.) at the House Public Safety and National Security Committee, Reddit users began posting on forums like r/canadaguns, and r/CanadaHunting that they had received information from their local NDP MPs indicating that the party opposed the amendments. Chiang’s amendment would, among other things, ban “rifles and shotguns” that are “capable of discharging centre-fire ammunition in a semi-automatic manner,” guns firing with more than 10,000 joules of energy, and those with “a bore diameter of 20 mm” or greater. “We just put forward a list and we’re consulting with Canadians on that,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Papineau, Que.) said on Dec. 5. “That’s what we’re listening to: feedback on how to make sure that we’re not capturing weapons that are primarily hunting weapons.” Screenshot of The_Phaedron’s Reddit post encouraging ‘left-wing’ hunters to contact NDP MPs to encourage them to opposed the amendments to Bill C-21.

Further down in the comments, Phaedron provides a list of email addresses and phone numbers for NDP MPs, including MacGregor, ranking them from lo
