NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said the deal sold out auto workers and demanded to see a full text before the October 19 election.

Mulcair received his strongest applause at the event – including a standing ovation – when he repeated his party’s rejection of the Harper government’s wide-ranging anti-terrorism legislation, Bill C-51, which critics say endangers free expression. “Our supply management system is something to be proud of, not something to be given away”.

“It’s long overdue”, Mulcair told the gathering that included dozens of NDP supporters and eight Toronto-area candidates who hope to retain or take seats in the region. He also tried to shield his position behind court decisions that have ruled against a ban on face coverings during the ceremonies. “It also puts me ill at ease.” It’s unlikely any opposition party would accept the complete deal.
