The NDP submission identifies the party’s proposals to implement a universal, comprehensive, public pharmacare program, close tax loopholes for the wealthiest, ensure future generations have a livable environment, and make it possible for all Canadians to access secure and affordable housing.
“Our system continues to be rigged in favour of the richest people and the biggest corporations while Canadian families pay the price,� said Julian. “We still have 1.2 million children living in poverty and hundreds of First Nations communities living under boil water advisories. The Liberal government must change course to help people. This year’s budget is their last chance to show the courage needed to tackle these inequalities head-on.�
