NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has confirmed that his party will support the Trudeau government's federal budget, ending speculation of a possible snap election. This decision comes after a period of uncertainty where Singh did not disclose whether the NDP would back the budget, citing the need for clarity on issues such as disability benefits. Despite his support, Singh expressed serious concerns about the budget and committed to holding the government accountable. The announcement was made on Wednesday, weeks after the budget was tabled on April 16. Additionally, Singh's favourability ratings have dropped considerably in the past month.
