It is very difficult to say how long Justin Trudeau will remain the Prime Minister of Canada. A political party that has long supported Justin Trudeau as prime minister has said it will soon withdraw its support. The question is, what kind of options does Trudeau have here? What will happen if he resigns?
A serious political crisis has arisen in Canada. The New Democratic Party – the political party that has long supported Justin Trudeau as prime minister – has said it will soon withdraw its support. Party chief Jagmeet Singh has written an open letter saying that he will vote in favor of the no-confidence motion to be presented early next year.
If all the opposition parties of Canada and Jagmeet Singh’s party come together and support the no-confidence motion, then Trudeau’s minority Liberal government could fall. Trudeau has been the Prime Minister of the country for 9 years. If the government falls, early elections may be needed in Canada. These days, the House of Commons, the Canadian Parliament, is on winter break. Therefore, no-confidence motion cannot be brought before January 27.
How did Justin Trudeau get into trouble?
When pressure started increasing on Justin Trudeau, Christian Freeland, who was the Finance Minister in his government, resigned. Freeland and Trudeau are said to have had disagreements over some policy issues, which ultimately resulted in Freeland’s resignation. As a result, Justin Trudeau’s government is going to fall. The question is, what kind of options does Trudeau have here? What will happen if he resigns?
What happens if Trudeau resigns?
If Trudeau resigns, his Liberal Party could choose an interim leader who would potentially replace him. But there is a problem here, the problem is that choosing the leader of the Liberal Party is a very long and complex task. They are selected after the conference. Therefore, if elections are held in the country before his selection, the Liberal Party may have to go into the elections with an interim leader.
What options are left for Justin Trudeau?
Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party is running a minority government. Till now the New Democratic Party had his support, so he was running the government. Both the New Democratic Party and the Liberal Party have similar types of voters. But now that the New Democratic Party has turned against him, Trudeau’s political position has been shaken. It is being said in media reports that if the no-confidence motion is brought soon, it is impossible for Trudeau’s government to survive.
If Trudeau has any option, it is to adjourn Parliament. Due to which the current session of the Parliament there will end. In such a situation, they will get some time till they can handle something politically. In this case, it would take a few weeks for the House to convene for a new session and Trudeau would be able to give a fresh look to his government. But liberal MPs may be angry with Trudeau on this matter. Because they will feel that all this is being done to save their chair.
