NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh slammed Justin Trudeau for "applauding and supporting' Ontario Premier Doug Ford's plan to move some medical procedures to publicly funded, private facilities to address the growing surgery wait-list.
Singh calling it a "major flip-flop" after Trudeau criticized then Conservative leader Erin O'Toole, in the 2021 election campaign, on the privatization of health-care.
The NDP leader is calling on the House of Commons to hold an emergency debate Monday on the issue.

With paying extremely high taxes as it is here. We better have free healthcare.
Lol no such thing as free health care
free?
He said alot of things and so did you
Maybe dont keep him in power? Cause youre the only one doing so
On the bright side, Singh is presiding over the self-destruction of the NDP. And its membership seems fine with it.
@Primmakin Sofis i really hope so. Singhs not a bad guy, hes just a terrible politician
NDP and their support for health care system and their unions and nothing gets to end user the taxpayer. Their reason for the health care system is disaster period.
Then dont keep supporting him
We need a country wide protest now if we have no money for our hospital how will we pay for private care cause we know that all about the money look at the long term care home’s they are privatize wake up Canada
When you make deals with other parties you need to make sure they are on the same side you are on. Look at what has happened here. Are you surprised?
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
6 months ago they were joined at the Hip …. what a creep.
Not really
@JasmineBraids really
Singh votes liberal when it matters. Who cares what he has to say.
W.H.O cares very much 😅
@Bass Child indeed. Lol
Surgeons and other Doctors who run the clinics are private entrepreneurs who are already responsible for paying rent, staff, & providing staff benefits etc.
I wouldn’t advocate for privatizing everything, since all Canadians should have access to all types of care, but we already have a hybrid system.
Singh, time for you to stop this costly coalition if you still have a spine.
So stop supporting him! It’s your choice.
This guy is a walking oxymoron, we condemn Trudeau but…. we support his government staying in power. The NDP as fallen far from what it used to be under Mulcair. A vote for the NDP is a vote for the Liberal.
At the end, NDP has supported every vote on Liberals policies in Parliament since the Liberal/NDP coalition. Singh, prove to Canadians your words matter and break the coalition with the Liberals.
Is there still an NDP party?
Here’s an idea Canada gets rid of all liberals and ndp all together. This country should only run off of conservative views for a long time. Then maybe just maybe we could be in the green agian.
Conservative p.m’s created 3/4 of the pre covid deficit, so no way, josee
Stop supporting Trudeau, then Mr Singh, The ball is in your court.
Single handily destroyed the NDP, where is Jack Layton 2.0
Jagmeet supports Trudeau on any Vote that what he signed up for
It bothers me how no one is questioning how what Doug Ford is doing isn’t privatization 😂😂😂
But he’s still going to support Trudeau. Despicable.
