As the minority Liberals plot out their policy moves ahead of the 2023 parliamentary sitting, weighing heavily are commitments Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh that have to be acted on this year in order to uphold the two-party confidence-and-supply deal. Here is what needs to get done to keep the deal alive.

This, compounded by new polling suggesting that health care is a top national issue of concern and that Trudeau is appearingThis comes as several key pledges in the parliamentary pact are outstanding.
"We always have the right, if the government breaks any conditions of the agreement, if they don't follow through with what we forced them to agree to, we have then the power or the option of withdrawing our support," Singh said.EXPANDING DENTAL CARE TO TEENS AND SENIORS Singh says he'll be eyeing the 2023 federal budget to make sure it includes "enough funds" to move forward with the next stage of the program, calling it a "clear requirement."Arguably the biggest outstanding commitment of the deal needs to come to fruition this year: a national pharmacare framework. Considered a historic expansion of Canada’s health-care system, failure to launch could mean the deal fizzles out.
"We want to see a national framework for pharmacare presented in Parliament and passed in Parliament by the end of the year," Singh said. "This is the framework necessary to move forward with universal public pharmacare… If they didn't do that, they would be breaking the deal."The two sides have also committed to move forward on a Liberal campaign promise to implement a "Homebuyer’s Bill of Rights" by the end of 2023.
