You spent a lot of time going after Trudeau saying he can’t be trusted, so how can you work with him now? Singh says he stands beside what he says but says the two can still work together to help Canadians.

After this campaign do you feel secure in your leadership? “Yes.”

“Despite our number, we were the most successful opposition party in the last parliament and this parliament looks pretty much the same,” Singh says.

What kind of leverage do you have? Singh said he didn’t want gov to fall and “we were the most successful opposition party in fighting for people.” He says the party is not looking for ways to cause the gov to fall but to “get back to work to do what Canadians need.”

Singh says he has laid out his priorities in the campaign and that’s what he has heard from people. He says healthcare is a priority as “these workers need help.” He highlights need for better working conditions and pay.

Why didn’t your message resonate? Singh says it’s not that he’s disappointed with results but that he’s disappointed so many NDP candidates who could have been a strong voice for Cdns won’t be in Parliament. “My goal is to become the next PM so that work continues,” he says in FR

Singh says NDP will always say better is possible and that “we can do things better.”

Asked about performance in QC, Singh says he knows it takes time to gain people’s trust and confidence and he won’t give up. He says his entire team will fight for everyone.

Singh says voter turnout was really low. He says there r concerning stories of ppl having to vote under the Gardner expressway, indigenous communities who didn’t get polling stations on e-day and there were fewer places to vote on campus. He says access to voting was restricted

Singh says he’s proud of the campaign and the stories they have been able to highlight. He says the campaign was able to talk to a lot of people and share their stories, so he says he is happy with that.

Singh says he is disappointed there are so many incredible candidates who would have made incredible MPs. “It’s too bad. I’m sad.”

Singh ends by saying when people lift each other up “we all rise.” That’s how he has ended his rallies lately.

All our deputies will get victories for people in Quebec and across the country. “You can count on us to fight for the environment,” Singh says adding “We will be there for you.” He says the ndp will never stop fighting for people to ensure their needs are first.
