NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh speaks with reporters in Toronto about his party’s work to secure free contraceptives for Canadians. The recent federal budget proposes $1.5 billion in funding over five years to support the launch of a national pharmacare plan, the first phase of which would provide coverage for a number of contraceptives. Introduction of pharmacare legislation is a condition in the NDP’s supplyandconfidence agreement with the Liberal government.

Singh is joined by Leah Gazan, his party’s critic for women and gender equality. They discuss Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's opposition to the bill to implement the pharmacare plan. The two MPs are asked about the removal of Assembly of First Nations National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak's headdress from an airplane cabin by Air Canada staff. The airline has apologized for the incident.
