Is it time for an NDP, Liberal divorce?

Front Burner

About this episode

On paper, the Liberals’ deal for the NDP’s support is supposed to prop up their minority government until next summer.


But in exchange, the Liberals agreed to a bill on pharmacare, and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is threatening that the deal could be done if they miss an approaching March 1st deadline.


So could the coming weeks see the end of the deal? Would the Liberals really risk an election right now? And did the deal deliver wins for the NDP that voters will remember?


CBC’s chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton returns to unpack it all.
