The NDP will not support an end to the privilege debate, but will pave the way for the GST reduction to pass

The NDP will not support ending the privilege debate, but will support a motion to allow any legislation the Liberals put forward to eliminate the GST on some essential items to pass in the House of Commons.

“We want to see this relief as soon as possible,” NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh told reporters Thursday.

“So we are prepared to stop the privilege bill being debated in the House for one day, get the bill passed in one day so that middle-class families can get this relief as quickly as possible.”
