NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Tuesday he is open to working with the Liberal government to pass relief measures for workers if U.S. President Donald Trump moves ahead with devastating tariffs on Canadian goods.
Singh has said for weeks he and his MPs will vote to bring down the government and send Canadians to an election at the earliest opportunity when Parliament reconvenes after prorogation in March.
Singh said that commitment still stands — but he's opening the door to an option that doesn't result in the Liberals' immediate defeat.
If the Liberal government needs a partner to help pass a bill through Parliament to help prop up a tariff-battered economy, Singh is willing to listen to what Ottawa is proposing, he said.
