Today, Liberal cabinet members chose not to vote on an NDP motion calling on Justin Trudeau’s government to stop fighting Indigenous children in court. New Democrats have been calling on the government to stop legal action and, instead, take concrete steps toward real reconciliation with Indigenous people.
After being left out of the Liberal budget, the NDP want to reassure Canadian seniors that unlike the Liberals, New Democrats will keep fighting for them and make sure they are not forgotten.
