NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party is prepared to withdraw from the supply and confidence agreement he signed with the Liberals if there is no federal action to address the health-care crisis.
If we don't see action on health care, we absolutely reserve the right to withdraw our support," Singh said at a press conference Monday.
"This is at the level of seriousness that we could make that serious consideration. We need to see action."
Singh said he's particularly concerned about the "escalating" problems in children's hospitals across the country. He has requested an emergency debate in the House of Commons as hospitals deal with an influx of sick kids.
Singh said the conditions imposed in the supply and confidence agreement on health care are deliberately "flexible," but the NDP leader added he's not seeing urgency from the government.
"This is not just about health-care transfers. This is about an immediate crisis that requires immediate action and a prime minister to step up and show that leadership."
