NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party is not “ruling out” the possibility of ending its supply-and-confidence agreement with the Liberal government if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fails to call a public inquiry into reports of foreign election interference.

Singh said on an episode of the Roy Green Show podcast on March 4 that while terminating the deal is not a decision his party will be making immediately, a public inquiry is something the NDP will continue pushing for—with the possibility of it becoming a deal-breaker for the supply-and-confidence agreement.
