The West Block – Episode 13, Season 12
: One last question for you. Has the introduction, and now passing of the Sovereignty Act in Alberta, changed your calculus at all on how you’re dealing with that province?: Well, I was in Calgary to meet with Minister Guthrie just a couple weeks ago. It was a very productive conversation. I think we have strong common interests in some of the economic opportunities going forward for Alberta and for Canada and I look forward to building on that.
As the House is getting ready to wrap for the holidays, I am joined now by NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, to take stock of the agreement that you have with the Liberals, the state of the nation, and of course, those hot topics in Canadian politics you’ve been dealing with all week. Nice to see you, Mr. Singh.: I’d like to start with gun control because this is a really contentious issue for the NDP.
Our position, is New Democrats have always been vocal when an institution makes decisions that hurt people, and to raise the concerns of people to say that increasing interest rates at a time when the cost of living is so high, will only increase the pressure and burden on families, those with mortgages that are variable are feeling the impacts right now, with mortgage payments that are now increasing by over a thousand dollars for some families.
The riding has been Liberal since 2015, but the Conservatives did win it back in 2011 and it’s considered to have a number of the kind of voters that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would need to attract and win over in order to grow his support in vote rich Ontario. We’ll be watching the outcome of that closely.
That’s our show for today. Thanks for joining us. For The West Block, I’m Mercedes Stephenson. We’ll see you next Sunday. Have a great week.
