BURNABY, B.C. — New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh says he will use his new position as a member of Parliament to pressure the Liberal government to take action on the affordable housing crisis in British Columbia.
The NDP is calling for a return to a time when the federal government built housing, he said, adding that in the late 1940s and 1970s, Canada built hundreds of thousands of affordable homes. He entered his victory party on Monday to jubilant cheers, thumping dance music and chants of “Jagmeet! Jagmeet!”
“I’ve spent time with people at the doorsteps and it’s clear to me that all New Democrats are committed to making sure that people in their riding, their voices and concerns are brought to Ottawa. We’re all united,” he said.
