NDP sending mixed signals on whether it will vote non-confidence in the Trudeau government [Video]

After Chrystia Freeland’s sudden and unexpected resignation from the Trudeau cabinet earlier this week, it seemed clear that the NDP would vote non-confidence in the government, triggering an early election. It hasn’t been clear since.

The party seems to be backing away from comments NDP House leader Peter Julian made on CBC’s Power and Politics hours after Freeland quit Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet. Host David Cochrane asked Julian if the NDP would vote non-confidence in a Trudeau-led government.

“When it’s a straight-up confidence motion, the end of February (or) early March. If we have the continued debacle and the prime minister has not stepped down … so yes, the NDP as the adults in the room would step up on that,” Julian said.
