OTTAWA – The NDP has forced the government to split up its omnibus major projects legislation, Bill C-5, forcing Parliament to vote directly on its more controversial clauses. After Friday’s Question Period, NDP MP Jenny Kwan (Vancouver East) raised a point of order arguing the bill’s two parts were unrelated to one another, which the Speaker ruled in favour of.

OTTAWA — In Wednesday's parliamentary committee on transportation, NDP MP Leah Gazan (Winnipeg Centre) secured changes that would prioritize creating good-paying union jobs for Canadians in the government’s major project legislation, Bill C-5. While a step towards addressing the bill’s problems, Gazan says the bill still requires major changes to uphold the rights of workers and Indigenous peoples, public health and environmental protections.

In reaction to government's measures to retaliate against U.S. steel, aluminum tariffs, Canada’s NDP leader Don Davies issued the following statement:

“I have the good fortune of working with six incredible NDP MPs from across the country. They are all strong voices advocating for working people and their communities in Parliament. It is an honour to be on a team with these MPs.
