Face to Face 2021: Jagmeet Singh met 4 undecided voters. Here's what happened
CBC
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is not ruling out working with a minority government led by Erin O'Toole, marking a break with his commitment in the 2019 federal election not to work with a minority Conservative government.
Asked directly if he would make the same commitment in this federal election, Singh refused, sidestepping questions about the likelihood of another minority government of one kind or another while insisting that voters should choose his party if they like his policies.
"In this pandemic, people got more help because we were there, we were able to increase the supports to people. If people want more help, more New Democrats will make it happen," he said.
Singh made the remarks during the third instalment of The National Presents: Face to Face with the Federal Party Leaders, in which four undecided voters get five minutes to ask one of four federal party leaders about an issue close to their hearts.
The NDP leader said that neither Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau nor Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole will deliver on policies such as pharmacare, universal dental care or removing profit from the long-term-care system, and that the only way forward on those policies is to vote for his party.
"If these are things that people want, New Democrats have a clear plan to achieve [them], and the best way to get it done is to vote for New Democrats," he said.
