The governing Liberal Party in Canada has concluded a
‘Supply and Confidence Agreement' with the New
Democratic Party in exchange for commitments on some policy issues.
What are the implications of these commitments for federal
employers?
On 22 March 2022, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
announced an agreement between the Liberal Party and the New
Democratic Party (NDP), titled ‘Delivering for Canadians Now,
A Supply and Confidence Agreement ‘(the
‘Agreement'). As part of the Agreement, the NDP has
committed to supporting the Liberal Government on confidence and
budgetary matters in exchange for the Liberals advancing key policy
issues that are of a ‘shared interest' between the
parties. If maintained, the Agreement would keep the Liberal Party
in power until at least June 2025.
