The results of the last election demonstrated that Canadians expect political parties to work together. UFCW Canada is pleased to see the NDP using their leverage in a minority Parliament, and we are encouraged by the government\u2019s willingness to work with the New Democrats to address important issues. This is exactly how minority governments are supposed to work.
\u201cEveryday Canadians and working people have been hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic, and they can\u2019t wait any longer for the federal government to act on improving our public health care, supporting workers, addressing the cost of living, and so much more,\u201d says UFCW Canada National President Paul Meinema. \u201cThis agreement demonstrates how Parliament should work by producing results for people, rather than politicians.\u201d
The Supply and Confidence Agreement promises action on issues that UFCW Canada and the labour movement have been championing for years, including pharmacare, dental care, a Just Transition to a Green Economy, real Indigenous Reconciliation, and anti-scab legislation.
\u201cUFCW Canada looks forward to working with the government and the NDP to ensure that this progressive policy agenda is implemented,\u201d Meinema adds.
As the country\u2019s leading union, UFCW Canada represents more than 250,000 union members working in food retail and processing, transportation, health care, logistics, warehousing, agriculture, hospitality, manufacturing, and the security and professional sectors. UFCW believes that political action is essential to achieving a better life for workers and their families.
