OTTAWA – Today, the Standing Committee on Public Safety released their report on racism in policing in Canada. While New Democrats fully support the recommendations in the report, NDP public safety critic, Jack Harris, who requested the study, insists that the minister and Prime Minister must take full responsibility for the comprehensive changes needed within the RCMP if policing is to improve.

Ottawa - The Liberal government voted against an NDP motion that would provide dental coverage to millions of Canadians who struggle with the cost of dental care. The NDP proposal would have allowed 6.7 million people in Canada whose household income is less than $90,000 a year to access the dental services they desperately need.

One in five Canadians say the cost stops them from visiting a dentist.   

Jack Harris, Member of Parliament for St. John's East released this statement today:

On Tuesday June 15 help us push for Universal Dental Care for all Canadians

Experts say that the use of solitary confinement in Canadian prisons amounts to torture under international law.

Jack Harris, NDP MP for St. John's East made this statement in the House of Commons today:

OTTAWA – Today, New Democrats are urging the government to support their proposal to provide dental coverage to millions of Canadians who can’t afford a visit to the dentist. The NDP plan, brought forward today by NDP MP Jack Harris, is completely costed by the Parliamentary Budget Officer and would benefit 6.7 million people in Canada whose household income is less than $90,000 a year.
