Davies says NDP’s budget support is up to Carney after sharing party’s priorities
The NDP prioritizes affordable housing, unionized jobs, and health care in the budget and leaves support decision to Prime Minister Mark Carney amid confidence vote stakes.
- Ahead of the Nov. 4 federal budget, Don Davies relayed broad NDP priorities to Prime Minister Mark Carney during the meeting last week and said Carney must secure the party's support.
- The NDP prioritized investment in housing and health care, with Don Davies saying the party rejects austerity and urges funding for affordable non-market housing and unionized job-creating projects.
- The government signalled a 'substantial' deficit while planning to shift spending, and Davies said NDP priorities focus on investments in communities, workers and infrastructure.
- The parliamentary math requires three opposition votes to pass the budget, and the Liberals need this support to avoid losing confidence in the House, Davies said.
- Other opposition leaders signalled they will wait to see spending details, with Bloc Québécois Leader Yves‑François Blanchet saying he must review plans before supporting the budget; this report was first published Oct. 8, 2025.
