Whilst Victoria MP Laurel Collins won含羞草研究社檛 say when she thinks the next federal election will be, the politician is confident the NDP party is ready to fight, and win.

On Wednesday (Sept. 4) NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announced the party had stepped away from its supply and confidence deal with the Liberals, an agreement which had helped keep the minority government in power.

The news sparked speculation the government could fall at the next confidence vote, causing an early election. But the NDP said it would be moving forward on a case-by-case basis when voting on Liberal legislation.

含羞草研究社淭he NDP is ready to fight an election,含羞草研究社� said Collins when asked by Black Press Media if she was expecting an early election. 含羞草研究社淲e're going to take it vote-by-vote and always keep Canadians at heart.含羞草研究社�

含羞草研究社淰oting non-confidence is always on the table,含羞草研究社� she added.

About the announcement, Collins said it should not have come as a surprise to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals.

含羞草研究社淲e've been having these discussions for quite a while,含羞草研究社� said Collins. 含羞草研究社淧eople across Canada are struggling, they含羞草研究社檙e losing hope. Many of them are falling further behind, and, at the same time, CEOs are making big profits.含羞草研究社�

含羞草研究社淭he prime minister has been in meetings where Jagmeet (Singh) has expressed his frustration, his disappointment, and been pushing the Liberals to do more to support Canadians,含羞草研究社� she continued. 含羞草研究社淪o often they break promises and they let Canadians down. Canadians are frustrated with the Liberals, and so are we.含羞草研究社�

First made in March 2022, the supply and confidence deal, according to Collins, has allowed the NDP to push the Liberals to deliver on a number of issues, including expanding health care services and pass pharmacare legislation.

Reacting to the news, Elizabeth May, Green Party Leader and Saanich-Gulf Islands MP, felt there was not much substance behind Singh含羞草研究社檚 announcement, and that it would be business as usual in Parliament.

含羞草研究社淭he NDP has just increased bargaining power with the Liberals by not being presumed to be a committed 'dancing partner' no matter what,含羞草研究社� said May.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also speculated on how serious the announcement is, challenging Singh to force an election, describing the end of the deal as a 含羞草研究社榮tunt含羞草研究社�.

But for Collins, the announcement is a sign that a change is coming.

含羞草研究社淲e are at a crossroads,含羞草研究社� said Collins. 含羞草研究社淭he (next) election is a change election. The Liberals have shown they will always cater to corporate greed. They are not capable of taking on Poilievre and stopping Conservative cuts. It's time for Canadians to have a government that has their back.含羞草研究社�

含羞草研究社淚n the next federal election, Canadians will choose between Pierre Poilievre含羞草研究社檚 cuts or the hope and the relief that's offered by Jagmeet Singh and our NDP team,含羞草研究社� she continued. 含羞草研究社淚f we stand united, we are going to win.含羞草研究社�
