Housing, pharmacare, 'Green New Deal' to be NDP's focus before Parliament adjourns
In an interview on CTV's Question Period, Singh said that his three focuses will be housing, pharmacare, and spelling out his Canadian version of the "Green New Deal" put forward by U.S. lawmakers.
Since winning his seat in the House in late February, Singh has regularly brought up these issues in an effort to contrast his party's approach to that of the current Liberal government's, but with the SNC-Lavalin scandal dominating the majority of the political discourse over the last two months, any issue other than that chapter of alleged political interference wasn’t able to gain much traction.
