No plan to break supply and confidence agreement with Liberals: Jagmeet Singh

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh says that there are currently no plans to break the supply and confidence agreement with the Liberals.

He said if the NDP did so, dental care and other key issues included in the agreement with the Liberals would be delayed from implementation.

Jagmeet Singh said that the NDP will continue to put pressure on the government for things like dental care.

He said that their current focus is to force the government to implement the things for which the agreement was reached.

A debate has been held in the House of Commons today on the motion brought by the NDP on home heating.

Jagmeet Singh's party has demanded removal of GST on home heating and increased funding for the National Heat Pump Programme.

While election promises may differ from actual policy, experts warn that a renewed trade war could lead to substantial new costs for Canada. Rebecca Young, Vice President and Economist at the Bank of Nova Scotia, noted that if Canada is hit by serious economic shocks, any government in power would likely need to introduce relief packages. She compared the potential situation to past crises such as the 2008 financial meltdown and the 2020 COVID-19 p

B.C. government announces changes to graduated drivers' licensing regime

The British Columbia government is making changes to its graduated drivers licensing regime, eliminating the need for a second road test to obtain a full licence. Public Safety Minister Garry Begg says the changes, if approved, will see new drivers get "on-road experience" and be subject to a 12-month restriction rather than be required to take another test to get their Class 5 licence. A statement from the ministry says there will also be a new program to licence motorcycle drivers, who are "overrepresented in fatal crashes in B.C."
