Governor General betrays Constitution by letting Liberals escape Parliament: Christopher Dummitt in the National Post – MLI

January 6, 2025

The government doesn’t have the confidence of Parliament.

With all the uncertainty about just exactly who is leading the Liberal party, and when an election might be called, one thing is crystal clear: Governor General Mary Simon was wrong to approve Prime Minister Justin’s Trudeau’s request to prorogue Parliament. She should have flat out refused.

Why?

It’s based on a simple but easily misunderstood reality: the Liberal party is not the government. The whole issue of the Liberal leadership selection is irrelevant. Our government is headed by Trudeau and his ministers. These are the people who must hold the confidence of Parliament. And at present, they obviously do not.

Every single other party in Parliament has now announced publicly that they no longer have confidence in the current government. This might not matter if the Trudeau government had a majority. But, of course, it does not. It has been a government in a minority situation and at the whim of the other parties, mostly the NDP.
