NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has ripped up the supply and confidence deal with the Liberals that helped keep the minority government in power.
Mickey Djuric and Laura Osman, The Canadian PressOTTAWA —
The NDP had been re-evaluating the deal since Aug. 22, the day Labour Minister Steve MacKinnon asked the Canada Industrial Relations Board to impose binding arbitration to end a work stoppage at Canadian Pacific Kansas City and Canadian National Railway that paralyzed Canada’s transportation networks.
Singh said there is another “bigger battle ahead,” noting the threat of cuts from the Conservatives under their leader Pierre Poilievre if the party wins the next election. New Democrats also used the deal to push forward a ban on replacement workers during a strike or lockout at federally regulated workplaces.
