OTTAWA — A court has agreed to expedite its hearing of a legal challenge of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's move to prorogue Parliament.
MacKinnon and Lavranos also request a declaration that this session of Parliament has not been prorogued. MacKinnon and Lavranos asked the court to expedite its hearing of their application for judicial review, citing urgency due to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose steep tariffs on goods from Canada.
They suggest the true intention of prorogation was to stymie efforts of opposition parties to bring a motion of non-confidence in the Liberal government. Federal lawyers said the request for"an extraordinarily truncated timeline" for the review of important constitutional questions should be rejected.
The federal submission added that established jurisprudence makes the dangers of expedited adjudication of constitutional cases clear.
