NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has 含羞草研究社渞ipped up含羞草研究社� the supply and confidence deal with the Liberals that helped keep the minority government in power.

含羞草研究社淭he deal is done,含羞草研究社� Singh tweeted, early Wednesday afternoon.

In a video posted Wednesday afternoon, Singh said he notified Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of the decision.

含羞草研究社淐anadians are fighting a battle. A battle for the future of the middle class. Justin Trudeau has proven again and again he will always cave to corporate greed,含羞草研究社� Singh said in the video directly addressing Canadians.

含羞草研究社淭he Liberals have let people down. They don含羞草研究社檛 deserve another chance from Canadians.含羞草研究社�

Trudeau said Wednesday he含羞草研究社檚 focused on affordability, housing and the impacts of climate change, not politics.

含羞草研究社淚 really hope the NDP stays focused on how we can deliver for Canadians, as we have over the past years, rather than focusing on politics,含羞草研究社� Trudeau said at a press conference in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Singh and Trudeau reached the agreement in March 2022, committing the Liberals to implement several NDP priorities such as dental care and pharmacare in exchange for the NDP caucus supporting the Liberals on key votes like budgets.

Singh did not take questions Wednesday, and is expected to hold a press conference Thursday.

The decision doesn含羞草研究社檛 mean the government automatically falls at the next confidence vote. Rather, the NDP will determine how to vote on Liberal legislation on a case-by-case basis.

Singh said there is another 含羞草研究社渂igger battle ahead,含羞草研究社� noting the threat of cuts from the Conservatives under their leader Pierre Poilievre if the party wins the next election.

含羞草研究社淭he fact is, the Liberals are too weak, too selfish and too beholden to corporate interests to fight for people. They cannot be change, they cannot restore the hope, they cannot stop the Conservatives,含羞草研究社� he said.

He said in the next election Canadians will have to choose between Conservative cuts or hope that the country stands united.

He announced his decision less than a week after Poilievre wrote to his NDP counterpart to demand Singh pull his support for the Liberals and force an election this fall.

National opinion polls suggest Poilievre含羞草研究社檚 stance on workers含羞草研究社� rights and the economy is resonating with Canadians. He continues to hold a substantial lead ahead of Liberals and New Democrats.

Poilievre called Singh含羞草研究社檚 decision a 含羞草研究社渕edia stunt含羞草研究社� in a statement on social media Wednesday.

含羞草研究社淪ellout Singh refuses to state whether the NDP will vote with non-confidence to cause a carbon tax election at the first chance,含羞草研究社� Poilievre wrote on X Wednesday.

New Democrats say Singh asked the party to start building an exit plan in the early summer, and decided to pull the plug by mid-August.

The party says Singh had already filmed the video to announce he was leaving the deal before Aug. 29, the day Poilievre held a press conference calling for Singh to break the deal.

Last week Singh called the Liberals含羞草研究社� move to force binding arbitration to end contract disputes at the country含羞草研究社檚 railways a 含羞草研究社渓ine in the sand that was crossed.含羞草研究社�

However Singh had begun re-examining the deal weeks before Aug. 22, when Labour Minister Steve MacKinnon asked the Canada Industrial Relations Board to impose binding arbitration to end a work stoppage at Canadian Pacific Kansas City and Canadian National Railway that paralyzed Canada含羞草研究社檚 transportation networks.

The request came just 24 hours after the two companies locked out their workers after failing to reach a contract deal at the bargaining table.

NDP含羞草研究社檚 labour critic Matthew Green told The Canadian Press earlier this week that as Canada含羞草研究社檚 only labour party the NDP has a responsibility to take 含羞草研究社渂old steps含羞草研究社� to ensure there含羞草研究社檚 support for workers and their families, and others who are 含羞草研究社渟truggling in this economy.含羞草研究社�

Singh said Wednesday his party will deliver hope and relief, fix health care, build homes and stop price gouging.

Many of the affordability measures the Liberals have brought in over recent years, including dental-care benefits, one-time rental supplements for low-income tenants and a temporary doubling of the GST rebate, were NDP priorities. Some came about as a result of the deal.

In addition to dental and pharmacare programs, the New Democrats also used their deal with the Liberals to push forward a ban on replacement workers during a strike or lockout at federally regulated workplaces.

The two parties also negotiated a housing accelerator fund that allocated billions of dollars to help build more than 750,000 homes across Canada.

House Leader Karina Gould said Aug. 26 that she expected the deal to run until its end, which was to be June 2025. Her office reiterated those remarks Tuesday.
