The NDP would like to pass a single-payer pharmacare act by the end of 2023 through their agreement with the Liberal Party. They have threatened to leave their agreement if this does not get passed, which would potentially trigger an election.

Some recent (at time of asking) news articles on this:

I will resolve this market in December 2023, once holidays make it clear no more laws will be passed for the year. Any pharmacare act that passes due to NDP voting support will result in a YES resolution.
