Talks between the NDP and Liberals were first reported by Maclean's, with veteran NDP MP Charlie Angus telling the Globe and Mail that Trudeau reached out to Singh sometime last month.
"There is no discussion at all of a coalition, and that is a firm no from me. There is not going to be any coalition at all," said Singh on Monday, dismissing the reports.
"I am prepared to find ways to work together," said Singh. "I want to make sure this Parliament works for people. I want to respect the decisions that Canadians made in this election," said Singh.
"... When it comes to helping people, I'm ready to work together," said Singh, citing things like cost of living, and fighting against climate change.
