NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is no longer supporting the Liberals’ proposed $250 cheques for Canadians, saying vulnerable Canadians like seniors and those with disabilities won’t benefit.

“We were told it would be anyone earning less than $150,000 who would get this. We assumed that would include obviously seniors, people living with disabilities, and students,” Singh told reporters in the House of Commons on Nov. 25.
