Budget will have NDP's support, but will also face opposition

The Liberals have done enough to honour their agreement with the NDP, but that doesn't mean the federal budget will pass without opposition.

"We still have critiques and criticisms," NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Thursday. "We're concerned, deeply concerned, about the approach on the environment."

He said the government should be spending more on clean energy instead of giving subsidies to fossil fuel companies.

The leaders of the Green party and Bloc Québécois echoed that.

Amita Kuttner said the plan to get to net-zero is not enough to meet Canada's emissions reduction targets and the Greens wanted the budget to centre on climate change in every policy area.
