OTTAWA — With the cost of living playing a central role in provincial elections across Canada and in the U.S.
presidential race, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is set to unveil a pre-campaign policy plank for the next federal election to differentiate his party from the governing Liberals.
Some provinces like Ontario already exempt certain items like children's clothes and some prepared grocery items from the provincial share of the HST or provincial sales tax. During the 2021 election, the NDP campaigned on a promise to increase the corporate tax rate back to the 2010 level of 18 per cent, up from the current rate of 15 per cent.
For much of the current minority parliament, the NDP has propped up the Liberals through a supply-and-confidence agreement. Under that deal, the Liberals agreed to work on NDP priorities like dental care and pharmacare programs in exchange for support on confidence votes.
