Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh can finally take his official seat in the House of Commons after being sworn in as an MP on Sunday. In a speech after he was sworn in, Singh thanked the people of Burnaby South for allowing him to be their voice in Ottawa, as well as his friends, family and supporters. "That image is now going to be more and more clear for young people in this country," he said. Singh won a byelection in Burnaby South at the end of February. The NDP head into October's election with more than a dozen incumbent MPs stepping down and dismal fundraising numbers.
