Windsor West MP Brian Masse says he will endorse Jagmeet Singh in his New Democratic Party of Canada leadership bid.
“New Democrats owe it to Canadians to form government - so that we can make life better for millions of of people. Jagmeet is the candidate who can make this possible,”said Masse, who is also the NDP critic for both Great Lakes and Innovation, Science and Economic Development.
Masse, who is Dean of the NDP caucus and the longest serving NDP MP in Parliament, said in 2002 there were 14 New Democrats in Parliament in Ottawa. Nine years later and there are 103.
"We were able to win over millions of Canadians thanks to a strong team, Jack Layton’s ability to listen, and his offering of proposition, not opposition," Masse said.
"Like Jack when he ran for leader, Jagmeet also offers a new energy and a new style of leadership for our party.”
