OTTAWA — The New Democrats are confident there will be"no surprises" in the federal budget and that the Liberals will honour spending pledges made in their confidence and supply pact.
In return for support on the budget and confidence motions, it secured a string of policy pledges from the Liberals. Many need funding this year. "I would expect that if there was going to be a surprise, there would have been a heads-up," Blaikie said. 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.
NDP health critic Don Davies said after receiving a briefing that he is optimistic the government will keep its commitments on dental care and pharmacare in the budget.
