The NDP’s interim party leader announced he’s having “fruitful discussions” with other parties to retain privileges usually reserved for official parties in the House of Commons, despite being denied a request to be granted official party status.

The party’s interim leader, Don Davies, said that despite the Government House leader denying his request to retain official party status, he has already secured certain privileges for his party that they otherwise wouldn’t have without official status.
