PM confirms deal with NDP until next election in 2025

It’s official the federal Liberals and NDP have formed a deal to prop up the Trudeau government.

The supply and confidence agreement goes into effect today and ends in 2025 when the next federal election will be held.

What it means is the NDP will vote with the minority Liberals on future confidence votes and budgets.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the deal between the two parties will provide stability for Canadians.  In exchange, the Liberals will move forward on national pharmacare and dental care, two priorities of the NDP.

Trudeau says he thought long and hard about the agreement and called the decision difficult but that with so much instability in the last two years Canadians need stability and the agreement with the NDP will “deliver results for Canadians, now.”
