#StarExclusive: NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is challenging Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to recall Parliament and refrain from calling a snap summer election as all parties prepare for a federal campaign that is widely expected to start soon. torstar.co/AMze50FO3Zt
In a letter to Trudeau that was obtained by the Star, Singh pledges his New Democratic Party is “ready to work” with the Liberal minority government on legislation both leaders have deemed important. thestar.com/politics/feder…
“It is within your power to bring your ministers back off the pre-campaign trail, recall the House and get to work,” Singh writes.
“New Democrats are ready to return to Parliament and keep fighting for Canadians.” thestar.com/politics/feder…

Singh has repeatedly accused Trudeau in recent days of placing his own political interests ahead of the country by seeking an opportune time to call an election and win the expanded power of a majority Liberal government. thestar.com/politics/feder…
As first reported by the Star, the NDP leader wrote to Governor General Mary Simon in late July to suggest she refuse if Trudeau asks her to start a general election because the minority Parliament isn’t functioning. thestar.com/politics/feder…
In his letter to Trudeau, Singh pushes back on those statements and contends the NDP’s 24 MPs have played a “critical and constructive role” in the minority Parliament elected in the fall of 2019. thestar.com/politics/feder…
