NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has decided to end the supply-and-confidence agreement that has been keeping Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority Liberal government in power.
The agreement, first signed in March 2022, was meant to last until June 2025, but Singh has cut it short, saying the Liberals have let people down and don’t deserve another chance from Canadians.
Singh announced on social media that he believes the Liberals are “too weak” and “too selfish” to fight for the middle class and stop the Conservatives.
The announcement paves the way for the Trudeau Liberals to be defeated in a non-confidence motion in the House of Commons. Any bill to carry that weight would have to be declared as such. Should the government lose the vote on the bill, they would fall, triggering an election.
