NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Tuesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not offer to bring the NDP into the government - and he would have turned down such an offer. Liberals, NDP leadership reach tentative deal to support Trudeau government to 2025.Liberals agree to launch dental care program in exchange for NDP support.The voting commitment stands until Parliament rises in June 2025, allowing the Liberals to present four federal budgets. The deal only requires the NDP to vote in support of the government on confidence votes and budgetary matters such as budget implementation legislation and money bills. New Democrat MPs remain in opposition, they get no seats at the cabinet table and the NDP can walk away from the deal if it feels it no longer serves its interests. The NDP does not become part of the Liberal government. The Prime Minister's Office published a statement on its website outlining the deal. To do this, the parties will need to establish a working relationship that governs how they communicate plans and voting intentions. The parties have agreed to work together on key policy areas in situations where both parties want the same "medium term outcome" - while avoiding an early election call.Īccording to the deal, those key policy areas are climate change, health care spending, reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, economic growth and efforts to make life more affordable. The "supply-and-confidence" agreement struck between the governing Liberals and the opposition New Democrats could affect the kind of legislation Canadians can expect to see pass through Parliament between now and 2025.
