NDP says paid sick leave for all Canadians a must before party supports suspending House of Commons

Описание: Federal New Democrats are conditioning their support for a plan to continue suspending full House of Commons sittings on real action from the Liberal government on paid sick leave for all Canadians and support for people with disabilities struggling with COVID-19.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh laid out the demands on Monday morning, shortly before a small number of members of Parliament are set to return to the House of Commons to begin debate over the future of parliamentary sittings for as long as several months.

Singh said his party is willing to support Liberals' motion, for a price.

"We are continuing to make it clear that we need a commitment that the government is willing to provide paid sick leave for all Canadians," Singh said during a news conference on Parliament Hill.
