NDP Walks From Supply And Confidence Agreement With Liberals

Canada’s New Democratic Party has announced the termination of its supply and confidence agreement with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, potentially paving the way for an early federal election.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh made the announcement in a video released on social media, stating he had notified Trudeau of the decision to “rip up” the agreement. The deal, which began in March 2022, was set to run until June 2025 and had ensured the survival of the Liberal minority government.

Singh cited the Liberals’ failure to address corporate greed and their inability to stand up to corporate interests as key reasons for ending the agreement. He also positioned the NDP as the only party capable of stopping Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s potential “cuts” to social programs.

The move does not automatically trigger an election, but it significantly increases political uncertainty. The Liberal government will now need to secure support on a case-by-case basis for confidence matters, including budgets and key legislation.

The decision comes amid rising pressure on Singh from both within his party and from opposition Conservatives. Recent polls show the Conservatives leading the Liberals by a significant margin, while NDP support has remained relatively stable.

The termination of the agreement could impact several ongoing legislative initiatives, including pharmacare and dental care programs. It also comes just ahead of two federal by-elections scheduled for September 16.

While the NDP states it is ready for an election, the party will now consider non-confidence votes on each confidence measure presented by the government. This development marks a significant shift in Canadian federal politics and could lead to increased volatility in Parliament in the coming months.
