OTTAWA – Far too many families are living paycheque to paycheque, or worse, are already living in poverty, but the Liberal government continues to say that the economy is doing well. On Monday, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, with the NDP’s Finance Critic and Deputy Finance Critic, Peter Julian and Pierre-Luc Dusseault, sent a letter to the Prime Minister and Finance Minister ahead of the Liberal fiscal update, asking them to rule out additional giveaways to Canada’s richest corporations. Instead, the Liberal government should take concrete steps to lessen the growing debt burden placed on Canadians, and to help them achieve their dream of a prosperous future.

NDP Critic for Canadian Heritage Peter Julian issued the following statement:
"It has come to our attention that a consultant for a federally funded anti-racism project has a disturbing track record of spewing hate speech online against Jewish and francophone communities. This is completely unacceptable. We call on the Minister of Heritage to take drastic action and terminate his contract.
