NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh speaks with reporters on Parliament Hill as the fall sitting of the House of Commons begins. He responds to questions about working with the other federal parties and the federal government's legislation to implement their new affordability measures. The government plans to double the Goods and Services Tax Credit (GSTC) for six months, introduce the first phase of a national dental-care program, and provide a one-time $500 top up to the Canada Housing Benefit for renters. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the new measures during the Liberal party's caucus retreat on September 13.
