NDP to focus on substance in lead up to 2015 election. Now thats something I can get behind! Some highlights from the article: Mr. Mulcair will focus on policy, specifically health- and child-care issues, Mr. Bélanger said. Earlier this summer, Mr. Mulcair said the NDP would introduce a national childcare program if elected. “Childcare is going to be a big plank for us. It’s something that we feel families need. It’s part of the issues that they’re facing. Childcare needs to be made more available,” said Mr. Bélanger. “[The NDP will] be really, really focusing on it in the next several months: a really clear and focused and progressive vision for the country that he’ll [Thomas Mulcair] be working hard to articulate to Canadians between now and the election, and making sure he has an opportunity to do so on substance and on policy, not just on the photo ops,” said Mr. Purdy. Mr. MacLachlan and Mr. Purdy, both said Mr. Mulcair’s recent announcement, committing to launch an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women within its first 100 days as government if elected, is a good example of the party’s strategy heading into 2015. “You’re going to start seeing a bit more of that kind of commitment, firm commitments they can be held accountable to,” said Mr. MacLachlan.
