NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh won't rule out the possibility of Canadians footing the bill for Prince Harry and Meghan's security costs when they're in Canada.

"I'd want to make sure we make an evaluation before I make a decision around what we should do," Singh said, speaking outside his NDP caucus meeting Wednesday.

When asked if that extends to waiting for the expert determination of who should pay the bill, he agreed, saying definitively "and who should pay for it."

Singh's statement comes in contrast to his own Canadian heritage critic, Alexandre Boulerice, who just hours before had said he intends to send a message to the Liberal government that Prince Harry and his family should cover their own costs.

Boulerice said he questioned whether Canadians would welcome the idea of taxpayers footing the security bill for the royals, who are reportedly staying in a northern Victoria mansion after stepping back from their royal duties.

“If they want to come and live in Canada, they are more than welcome, but they have to fulfil their responsibility and assure their own security,” Boulerice said Wednesday in Ottawa.

Despite all the trolling you attempt-- Singh saying he wants to review before replying and Boulerice taking a position now are not opposites. Opposites mean both took a position and they are opposed to each other.

Boulerice said an emphatic NO - without consultation.

Congratulations on your new job in Boulerice's office! This explains how you know that he said this without consultation.

The only truth here is that Singh has been more neutral and Boulerice has been clearer. More likely than not they make the decision that Boulerice could speak for himself as a Quebec MP and Singh would not take a firm position federally as leader. I bet they discussed it.

Some parties in Canada allow a little daylight between member's positions. In this case the positions are a little different but they are clearly not opposite.

Thanks for trolling please play again. I refuse to believe that you do not understand these distinctions. This denseness would be far to convenient to be credible.

The NDP’s Canadian-heritage critic says he believes Prince Harry and his family should pay for their own security while they’re in Canada.

Alexandre Boulerice, who is also deputy leader of the party, says he questions whether Canadians would welcome the idea of taxpayers in this country paying for security to protect the English royals.

That’s why he says he DOESN'T SUPPORT it and plans to send a message to the Liberal government that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should cover their own costs.

“If they want to come and live in Canada, they are more than welcome, but they have to fulfil their responsibility and assure their own security,” Boulerice said Wednesday in Ottawa.

So when Boulerice says he DOES NOT support it, that is NOT a no. OK got it.

He is saying no. Singh is saying no answer yet. Only in Liberal shill fantasy land does this become an opposite.

I am sorry but not only do I not suffer fools gladly I also do not have patience for people on this site who pretend to not understand.
