Speaking in Toronto on Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland responded to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s call for opposition parties to vote non-confidence in the government when the House of Commons resumes next month.

“I think we need to really take these assertions by the Conservative leader with a healthy – a very healthy – grain of salt,” Freeland said. “The reality is, in recent weeks and months, we’ve had a steady stream of very good economic news for Canadians.”

“I think it's pretty pathetic that the good news, the good economic news that we are seeing for Canada and Canadians, the Conservatives feel is bad news for them. They can see that that good news is going to keep on coming. And I think they're a little bit worried about that. And maybe they should be,” Freeland said.

Earlier on Thursday, Poilievre sent a letter to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, urging him to pull out of the party's confidence-and-supply agreement with the Liberals. "Singh sold out workers to sign onto this costly coalition," Poilievre said.
