US EditionInterim NDP leader says party will vote against throne speech
- Interim NDP Leader Don Davies announced on Wednesday at Parliament Hill that the party will vote against the government's throne speech.
- The NDP's decision follows the April election that reduced the party to seven seats and left Liberals short of a majority.
- Davies criticized the speech for lacking details on health care and employment benefits, saying it misses workers' priorities advocated by 1.2 million Canadians.
- The government's throne speech serves as a key test of confidence, requiring support from other parties to avoid potential defeat and the possibility of an early election.
- Because the NDP will oppose the speech and other opposition parties have not committed to support, the government faces a critical test in Parliament.

If the government loses a confidence vote, it's defeated — which could lead to a snap election.

After a devastating election that shrunk the NDP caucus, interim leader Don Davies says his caucus can still play an important role, predicting that in some cases, ‘whether the government survives or falls will depend on us.’
