Mark Carney offers mixed views on NPD party recognition
Tuesday, May 13, 2025, 5:21 pm
In a politically charged exchange, Mark Carney expressed reservations over granting recognized status to the NPD, remarking that the decision is “those Canadians’ to make.” His offhand yet pointed comment has added a dash of financial cynicism and humor to an already heated debate in parliamentary circles.
«C’est une décision des Canadiens. Ce n’est pas une décision de moi», a-t-il dit mardi.
Le premier ministre Mark Carney a exprimé mardi des bémols à l’idée que le Nouveau Parti démocratique (NPD), qui n’a réussi à faire élire que sept députés, puisse être une formation politique reconnue à la Chambre des communes.
