Jagmeet Singh on Fall Economic Statement, Pharmacare, Israel-Hamas War

Speaking with reporters outside a cooperative housing unit in Toronto, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh discusses the high cost of rent and his party’s expectations for the government’s upcoming fall economic statement. The NDP is looking for an investment in affordable housing and concrete action to bring down grocery prices.

Singh faces numerous questions from reporters about a bill for universal pharmacare, which is a key demand of his party’s confidence-and-supply agreement with the government. He is asked as well about the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, and also whether the NDP will seek standing at the upcoming public inquiry on foreign interference. (November 15, 2023)
