Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP Marcus Powlowski states he supports Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's potential prorogation of Parliament to avoid a looming non-confidence vote. Powlowski believes this could offer the Liberal party a chance to reset, potentially leading to a new leader if Trudeau decides to step down. He argues prorogation, while politically motivated, would allow for a fresh start and a real election.
THUNDER BAY – Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP Marcus Powlowski says he’d be on board if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau decides to prorogue parliament to avoid losing a non-confidence vote .
Prorogation is a tool available in a parliamentary system, and it’s not like past prime ministers, including Conservative Stephen Harper, haven’t used it at some point during their terms in office, Powlowski said. “I think a lot of people are hoping is that we prorogue Parliament, we have a leadership race and we get a new leader and that new leader brings us into the election,” Powlowski said.
Is it fair to the Canadian public? Powlowski said it’s not much different that what’s already happening.
