Legislature in Victoria, B.C.
He says another $10 billion over the next four years is necessary to ensure universal, affordable, accessible child care for all. The Liberals, with 156 seats, are 14 votes shy of a majority in the House of Commons. Support from the NDP’s 24 MPs would ensure the government’s survival should the Bloc, Conservatives, Greens and Independent MPs join forces to bring it down.Singh did not frame his call for child-care funding Friday as a condition for NDP support.
Among the NDP’s priorities is ensuring that employment insurance is expanded sufficiently to ensure no jobless Canadian is left in the cold once the last eligibility period for the $2,000-per-month Canada Emergency Response Benefit ends on Sept. 26. The government has promised a “seamless transition” back to employment insurance that leaves no one behind but has yet to reveal its plan for doing that.
globepolitics Why dont Singh pay for Parents childcare. Where does he expect $12B to come from Donald Trump back account.
Ndp is a dead party within a year or two...2 party nation like US unfortunately
Spend spend spend spend spend spend.
How about we cut income tax out! Until the pandemic is over so the ones working still can pay owe way?
One time, just one time, I would like to hear an idea from him that saves us money 💰 sheeesh!
am childless by choice...& I support subsidized childcare
When you will stand for workplace bulling and harassment? When you will ask funds from government to support the victims of workplace bulling and harassment? Please share your plans !!!!
Right. A $1,200,000,000 debt and growing by the day. Who's gonna pay for it?
These elitist idiots think there’s an endless money tree , and forget it’s Canadian tax payers money , FFS ...
theJagmeetSingh Join forces. As a coalition you can bring Trudeau down like a house of cards. Reverse your stupid decision to suoprt Trudeau & get Parliament reconvened.
Jagmeet should call a mortician. His political career is dead.
Hey Singh, stop talking
Maybe that would be possible if you didn't side with Turdeau to close Parliament.
After hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars printed and spent to support our country in the wake of the pandemic, where does this idiot think this money will come from? He must be jockeying for prime minister. Jag your meat, laddie, relax.
This guy and King Justin will bring this country down...
So nice to hear about government wanting to help not just criticize.
Child care? But most aren’t back to work yet..
Without a National ChildCare program, there is no recovery.
Was it one of his marathon speeches where he endlessly rambles on incoherently? We need real leadership in opposition.
He should stick to making TikTok videos
We call on you to bring down the corrupt Liberal goverment NOW MR. SINGH
Love this guy. He wants to do so much with tax payers money. To bad with him in power. Foreign investment will suffer and manufacturing will move south.
If only the Liberals and NDP cared about the economy and JOBS for the taxpayer as much as they cared about spending announcements... no need for childcare when parents can’t find jobs. This country cannot keep printing money to buy votes.
🤮🤮🤮
Money growing on trees again...
Jagmeet is a terrorist
At least when this guy wants to blow our money out the door like it grows on trees, Canadians will get something for it.. JT could learn a thing or two 🙄
And where the hell is that money coming from Jag
15 seconds of fame. Bye 👋
Every time this asshole speaks, we all get poorer.
NDP is obsessed with paying people to have kids. It's pathetic and harmful.
JackMeat is a useless tool. Pathetic. Maybe people should, you know, look after their own kids. Why even have a family anymore
No problem, add it to the 300 billion dollar deficit. What’s another 12B
Well, theJagmeetSingh it’s refreshing to see you advocate for what the NDP stands for VS throwing crap 💩 at Trudeau all the time to see what sticks!! BeYourself
I’m in, tax me at a 120%, it’s for the kids
Why not 50? Dude aim high!
The country is going to take years to recover from all this funding being constantly give out...China should pay
Lol. I don't think so
This would be historic and amazing! Working women will rejoice!
Do Canadian parents not care for their Children anymore ?
Why is the woman behind him wearing a mask?. virtuesignal
Zero respect for theJagmeetSingh.
theJagmeetSingh is a self serving opportunist who sold out Canadians for his own gain Anyone with standards so pathetically low they still defend Trudeau deserves nothing but contempt If he really cared about this country his would be the loudest voice calling for resignations
Useless tool.
