CP NewsAlert: NDP will not be granted official party status: MacKinnon

May 26, 2025 | 9:08 AM

OTTAWA — Government House leader Steven MacKinnon says the NDP will not be granted official party status because the Parliament of Canada Act says a party needs at least 12 seats to be recognized.

The NDP was reduced to just seven seats in last month’s election.

More coming.
