Statement from CLC President, Bea Bruske, on new NDP leader Avi Lewis

March 30, 2026

Winnipeg—Today, I met with NDP leader Avi Lewis to discuss the priorities of Canada’s unions with him.

Workers need immediate, tangible, practical solutions that protect their jobs and make their lives more affordable.

We are in a jobs crisis, losing private sector jobs to the Trump trade war and public sector jobs to government cuts. We agreed that the NDP must fight for jobs in every sector of the economy. The party of workers must be the party of good jobs.

We met at Salisbury House in Elmwood-Transcona, a working-class riding the NDP lost to the Conservatives last year. We talked about what it will take to rebuild trust with communities like this. It was a great discussion, and I look forward to seeing him in action.
