New Democrats have unanimously urged their party to stand firm on negotiating pharmacare, even if it means ending their political agreement with the Liberals.NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh speaks to the media after receiving a vote of support from 81 per cent of the delegates present at the NDP convention in Hamilton on Saturday.
According to the resolution, the "continued confidence-and-supply is contingent on government legislation that commits to a universal, comprehensive and entirely public pharmacare program." Delegates at the NDP convention cast their ballots Saturday in a vote on whether to hold a leadership review. While New Democrats have drawn a line in the sand, Davies said the NDP is willing to compromise on the timing of the pharmacare rollout. The party, he said, could accept an interim system that covers all essential prescriptions and expands over time.In addition to pushing for legislation on pharmacare, Davies is continuing to negotiate the expanded rollout of dental care for low-income Canadians.
