With the parliamentary clock ticking down and the government yet to pass their 'affordable housing and groceries' bill—the first piece of federal legislation tabled in the fall sitting—the NDP have agreed to help the Liberals advance Bill C-56 in exchange for a series of amendments inspired by a similar bill from Leader Jagmeet Singh, CTV News has learned.

100% agreed. Minority governments ensure far more Canadians are represented since the aggregate population represented by a minority coalition will almost always be larger than that represented by a single majority party.

Especially if the NDP forms the minority. A Liberal/NDP minority represents more than 50% of all voters.
