The NDP will not break its supply-and-confidence agreement with the Liberal government should Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ignore the party’s calls for David Johnston to be removed as special rapporteur on foreign election interference, says NDP leader Jagmeet Singh.

Singh spoke to reporters a day after his party introduced a motion in the House of Commons calling on the government to remove Johnston from the position due to what Singh says was a “clear appearance of bias.”
