Trudeau says Liberals, NDP governance deal offers “stability“ for Canadians | FULL

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Tuesday the Liberals have struck a deal with the NDP to govern until 2025 in a decision he says will offer “stability” to Canadians in uncertain times. “Today, I am announcing that the Liberal Party has reached an agreement with the New Democratic Party to deliver results for Canadians now,” he said in a press conference on Tuesday. The supply and confidence deal isn’t a formal coalition, which means NDP members won’t share cabinet positions with the Liberals. Trudeau said the deal is aimed at acting on “key policy areas where we share similar objectives” including taxing financial institutions, acting on climate change and reconciliation, pharmacare and dental care. The deal will see the NDP support the Liberals in confidence and supply matters — which effectively relates to bills and procedures in the House of Commons around spending — until June 2025. That will allow the Liberals to pass four budgets. For more info, please
