New Democratic Party Leader Jagmeet Singh doesn’t sound like someone who is ready to walk away from his deal with Justin Trudeau’s Liberals — at least not yet.
The government has just 20 days to introduce and pass pharmacare legislation by the end of the year, as it promised in its 2022 supply and confidence agreement with the NDP. It also has a fall economic statement coming out next week, which could show how much the Liberals are willing to spend to keep that deal alive.
But Singh told reporters flatly on Wednesday that next week wouldn’t be a make-or-break week for pharmacare.
Singh wants his pension. That alone is enough to prop up Junior.
