It has been one year since the Liberal-NDP deal transformed the federal political landscape. Yet both parties remain, in some ways, uneasy bedfellows.
.” In exchange for promises to enact a suite of left-leaning policies, including many the Liberals had already pledged on their own, the New Democrats agreed to support the Trudeau government for the next three years.
“And then it was like, OK, meeting two: we’ll give you a little more. Is it going to leak? What’s going to happen? Where’s this going to show up? And then it didn’t,” the source said.“It is difficult to let people in,” he said. “You have to blue sky things, you have to try out different ideas that may never come to be — they may even be bad ideas. But you have to have a space to be able to explore them until you get to the right idea, the right way to do something.
“Some of those meetings are cordial and constructive. And in some of them, there’s pretty strong words about things not moving fast enough,” Howard said. As the meeting started, the source said Angus began to get animated, prompting Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson to make a comment about how there was no need for partisan talking points.
For Steven Guilbeault, the Liberal environment minister, it’s “fair game” for the NDP to keep pushing on the government to move faster on its priorities,. But he said the decision to invite the NDP into the policy development process — in his case, by working closely with the NDP’s environment critic, Laurel Collins — has allowed an opposition party that has never held power federally to get a taste of what it’s like to govern.
“For an MP who has been in politics for 20 years to have been able to impact somebody’s life in that way is something you can hang your hat on, right?”But while trust was building in some quarters, tensions flared in others — sometimes over issues that weren’t even part of the deal.
