TORONTO — The Liberal government will still work on policies it promised to pursue under its now-defunct deal with the NDP, Health Minister Mark Holland said Monday.
A week ago, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh ended the pact between the New Democrats and the minority Liberals, before some of the measures they agreed to work on had come to fruition.
"These are things that we deeply cared about, where we found intersection with what the NDP was caring about," Holland said at a news conference in Toronto. Uptake was in doubt earlier this summer, when less than half of dentists, hygienists and denturists had registered to offer care and associations warned there were flaws in the program's design.
Now that the New Democrats' support in Parliament is not guaranteed, the Liberals will have to find a partner for each individual vote.
