The chair of the federal NDP caucus says he doesn't fear that ending the political pact with the Liberals mightjeopardize the parts of the deal that are still before Parliament.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tapped Mark Carney, the former governor of the Bank of Canada, to chair a Liberal party task force on economic growth ahead of the next federal election, the party announced Monday.

Jagmeet Singh used a news conference Thursday to remind Canadians again and again that he has ended his party's political pact with the Liberal government. But the NDP leader offered few specific reasons for the decision and wouldn't say what comes next.
