With the parliamentary clock ticking down and the government yet to pass their 'affordable housing and groceries' bill—the first piece of federal legislation tabled in the fall sitting—the NDP have agreed to help the Liberals advance Bill C-56 in exchange for a series of amendments inspired by a similar bill from Leader Jagmeet Singh, CTV News has learned.

It's worse than nothing because a lot of people will see this and think "well a million is a lot, so this is good."

Appeasing people with what amounts to nothing is not a good thing.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. It's worse than nothing, because it's in place of anything actually useful.
