Trudeau prorogued parliament: Here’s what it means and what’s next



When Trudeau announced his plan to resign on Monday morning, he also shut down Parliament until March 24, giving the Liberal Party time to select a new leader. A confidence vote will follow shortly after the House returns, almost certainly triggering a spring election.

Bill Curry is the Globe’s Deputy Ottawa Bureau Chief. He’s on the show to talk about how the government proceeds from here – what happens to the bills that haven’t been passed yet, like proposed changes to the capital gains tax, what we can expect when the House returns, and what all of the political upheaval means for how Canada deals with the incoming Trump administration.

  1. At this moment, all I see is Covid doing what China planned for it to do, when it was planned by them and Conservatives. Same thing I see South of the border and in Mexico, Israel, and Russia.

  2. Luckily so many destructive bills won't be passed. How many months has the liberal government not passed anything? Because they refused to show documents that were unredacted. So no change really

  3. Seriously? After a truncated leadership race, (will it even conclude by March 24) where the Liberal platform has to be distanced by any candidate who wins, we will get a Throne Speech – outlining the Government's new agenda? The Conservatives, loaded with funds. will have depicted the Liberals as a collection of apostates from Trudeau, offering either spending with money clearly don't have, or a duplicitous bunch repudiating their 9 year record to tempt us with new policies.

  5. No elections until liberals are strong in the polls. Canada will become the 51 state of America because Trudeau’s made us so weak a few tariffs will cause this country to collapse.

  6. TruDumb is the worst PM ever. He could have resigned last month, but chose to sit on his thumb instead in order to destroy the Liberals. Now it is too late to have a real leader in place before January 20th. TruDump has left Canada without a leader until after the next election and Canadians will pay a 25% tariff until after the next election.

  9. Libs are the extreme party now. Mr. Trudeau’s cabal of decision makers reminds one of Mara lago. When programs fall flat some poor mp that had nothing to do with it gets scapegoated. Btw, where did the $60 billion go?

  10. So Trudeau thinks Canada should be on hold .Trudeau is a failure and 3 months will not change that fact.Trudeau ruled as a result of the NDP supporting Trudeau .
    The Govenor General failed Canada by rubber stamping Trudeau's request.
    Why were the Conservatives not given the opportunity to cobble together a Govt. to rule Canada until a General Election .Trudeau created his own problems and a delay will not help that issue.
    Csnada needs to have strong leadership now especially when faced with a potential Trump trade war .This action has put Canada at risk all to avoid having a Liberal Trudeau defeat .
