Since March, 2022, the NDP has been propping up the Liberals in a supply and confidence agreement that saw both parties support each other and strike deals to pass legislation. That agreement was originally meant to hold until June, 2025, before the party breaks for a scheduled election that fall. But that relationship is now over.
