Despite news that the NDP has stepped away from its supply and confidence deal with the Liberals, which helped keep the minority government in power, Elizabeth May, the Green Party MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands, is confident that it will be business as usual in Parliament.
香蕉视频直播淭his doesn't change anything dramatically,香蕉视频直播� said May. 香蕉视频直播淚t does not mean we have an election right away 香蕉视频直播� it might move it up to late summer 2025 instead of fall 2025, but I wouldn't bet on it.香蕉视频直播�
香蕉视频直播淣either Singh nor Trudeau are keen to go to the polls anytime soon,香蕉视频直播� she added.
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announced the decision to rip up the deal with the Liberals, first made in March 2022, on Wednesday (Sept. 4).
The NDP香蕉视频直播檚 decision was triggered by Labour Minister Steve MacKinnon香蕉视频直播檚 decision to use his powers to end the labour dispute that brought chaos to Canada香蕉视频直播檚 rail network in August.
"That was an unusual thing to do, and it would certainly raise the ire of an NDP core base that supports trade unions,香蕉视频直播� said May. 香蕉视频直播淚 can't believe that Steve MacKinnon did that, but he's a novice labour minister."
The NDP has said moving forward it will determine how to vote on Liberal legislation on a case-by-case basis.
香蕉视频直播淭he NDP has just increased bargaining power with the Liberals by not being presumed to be a committed 'dancing partner' no matter what,香蕉视频直播� said May, adding that she is looking forward to a minority Parliament that has to work together."
香蕉视频直播淭he normal course of things is that you negotiate and bargain, day-by-day, deal-by-deal, vote-by-vote,香蕉视频直播� she said.
香蕉视频直播淲ho does Justin Trudeau need to succeed a confidence vote? Does he need the NDP? No,香蕉视频直播� May added. 香蕉视频直播淗aving served in a number of minority parliaments with different governments, both Conservative and Liberal, you end up having different 香蕉视频直播榙ance partners香蕉视频直播� each day. It means more cooperation, and that's why I like minority parliaments, frankly ... some fluidity in who's voting with who to avoid an election.香蕉视频直播�
