New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh says if the Liberal government doesn’t make good on pharmacare legislation by March, that would kill the Liberal-NDP political pact.

But he’s making it clear that any collapse in the deal, which is meant to hold off a federal election until next year, would be the Liberals’ fault.

Mr. Singh has been talking tough this week about the looming deadline to table a bill, and he met with the prime minister on Monday to lay out his expectations.
Reporters lobbed questions at Mr. Singh on Feb. 7 about what consequences he’s willing to bring down on the Liberals.

Mr. Singh says if the Liberals don’t deliver by March 1, they would be turning their back on the parties’ agreement—and he warns that he won’t extend that deadline any further.

The deal originally said a bill should be passed by the end of 2023, but after months of negotiation over what it should say, the two parties punted the due date.

Did anyone here watch the town hall from Edmonton last night? I watched the first from Red Deer on X and attempted to watch last night on FB but the hecklers and comments pissed me off so quit watching. after about 15 minutes. They are sure a different bunch north of me and I don't say that in a positive way from what I heard. I am sure Ganum will have something to say negative as he didn't watch from Red Deer but had lots to say.
