CP News Alert: PM Carney says he won’t enter a formal pact with the NDP

By Canadian Press on May 2, 2025.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says he won’t enter a formal pact with the NDP to maintain his minority government.

Carney says the Liberals received a strong mandate and he won’t make a formal agreement with the NDP to avoid a snap election. His predecessor Justin Trudeau had a confidence-and-supply agreement with the NDP and parties can also form coalition governments.

More coming.
