Balanced News: Singh says no pharmacare bill this year could break NDP’s deal with Liberals

New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh says if the Liberal government does not introduce and pass a pharmacare bill in the House of Commons this year, he will consider it a deal-breaker. His party signed a confidence-and-supply agreement with the Liberals last March, in which the NDP agreed to support the minority government in key votes until 2025. In exchange, the Liberals would advance some shared priorities, including passing pharmacare legislation by the end of this year.
