At the first Liberal caucus meeting since the federal election, the Prime Minister urged MPs to work with other progressive parties to deliver concrete results on climate change, housing and Indigenous reconciliation
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau assailed the federal conservatives on Monday for their stand on COVID-19 vaccinations even as he urged Liberal MPs to work with other progressive parties to deliver concrete results on climate change, housing and Indigenous reconciliation.
“Even as Canadians are continuing to get vaccinated at record rates, the Conservatives are actually moving backward. More and more Conservatives are now stepping up to stand against vaccinations, to stand against science,” he said to applause from Liberal MPs. “They are saying they should get special treatment because they are MPs, that they don’t need to be protecting the people in their workplaces alongside them. They don’t need to be setting an example for all Canadians,” he said.
Liberal House Leader Mark Holland told reporters on his way into the caucus that the government is open to talks with the NDP and other parties get key program passed through Parliament.Liberal MP Terry Sheehan said, “I wouldn’t be opposed to a deal at all” with the NDP, saying Canadians want the government to work with the opposition parties to avoid obstruction antics that have delayed legislation and committee reports.
