Legacy of Crown on display as MPs pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth in House of Commons
The tacit debate over the legacy of the Crown and Canada’s future relationship with the monarchy began Thursday in the House of Commons as members of Parliament paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth.
“The stability of our overarching democratic institutions gives Canadians assurance and peace of mind so we can all focus on the issues that matter the most, like taking care of people, of our economy, of our communities and of our planet.” “The separation of symbolic authority from political power allows partisan politics to be contested fearlessly without threatening the enduring constitutional order,” Poilivre said. “Parties and politicians come and go, the Crown endures.”
There was no applause for Blanchet when he told the House his party would take no further part in the special session of Parliament. His members filed out after a moment of silence once the leaders’ speeches were over.
