NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh speaks to reporters before attending Question Period on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Dec. 10, 2020.
OTTAWA NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh wants Parliament recalled early so MPs can pass legislation, if necessary, and hold the Liberal government to account as regions introduce restrictions to control the surge of COVID-19 cases.
Singh said Thursday that “scary” modelling data for the country’s most populous provinces, Ontario and Quebec, show trend lines pushing hospital capacity closer to its breaking points.
Shutdowns are vital but support and help also needs to be in place for Canadians, he said.

If you live in Ontario, stay at home. Only leave for essential reasons. Like going to the grocery store or the pharmacy. Or picking up takeout or curbside orders from, uh, non-essential businesses. Or exercising or meeting a few friends. If this doesn’t sound that different from what you were already doing, you’re clearly not paying attention. That was a lockdown, and this is an ORDER. The police will be issuing tickets, so don’t screw up.

Amid a sudden surge in speculation that his minority Liberal government is gearing up for a spring election,
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reportedly set to make some small but still potentially significant changes to his front bench roster, with the new lineup expected to be unveiled ahead of a pre-planned cabinet retreat later today.
As per the latest dispatch from the Star’s Susan Delacourt, “details of the job changes were unconfirmed late Monday evening,” with “government sources (saying) the shuffle is a small one, prompted by one cabinet member’s decision to step down.”
