NDP expected to discuss fall strategy at caucus retreat

Liberals put up united front at caucus retreat after fractious summer

The three-day retreat in Nanaimo, B.C., was the first chance for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s team to address him as a group since they lost a long-held Liberal riding in Toronto to Poilievre’s Conservatives.

New Democrat MPs are entering their second day of meetings in Montreal as they finalize a strategy for navigating the minority Parliament this fall.

Leader Jagmeet Singh indicated on Tuesday that he will provide more details on Wednesday regarding the party’s approach for the upcoming session.

The caucus retreat follows Singh’s recent announcement that the party has ended its supply-and-confidence agreement with the Liberals.

Singh aims to convince Canadians that his party is capable of defeating the federal Conservatives, who have maintained strong poll numbers over the past year.

As Parliament’s return approaches, the NDP is also considering how other parties might seek to leverage the new dynamics in the House of Commons.

The Bloc Québécois has already outlined a list of demands for the Liberals in exchange for their support on key votes.
