NDP expecting no ‘surprises’ in federal budget, want Liberals to honour spending promises
These include more funding to improve home energy efficiency to cut Canadians’ bills and help the environment.
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Blaikie said that “while some of the normal doubts continue to be there,” the party is “confident going into this budget that some of our priorities will be seriously reflected in the budget.”One priority is moving quickly to implement 10 days of paid sick leave for all federally regulated workers, including people working on cross-Canada trains and planes.
In 2020, the parliamentary budget officer estimated the NDP dental-care plan would cost about $1.7 billion per year.
