Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prorogues Parliament, creating uncertainty for key legislation including the Online Harms Act and citizenship bill.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 's request to prorogue Parliament until March 24 has been granted by Governor General Mary Simon. This suspension of House of Commons activities allows the Liberals to replace Trudeau as both Liberal leader and prime minister. The move resets the legislative agenda, potentially jeopardizing key bills.
While the House of Commons can resume work in March, there's no guarantee that unfinished business will be addressed, as opposition parties seek to defeat the government. The Online Harms Act, split into two bills, faces an uncertain future, as does legislation aimed at granting citizenship to individuals born outside Canada to Canadian parents born elsewhere. The latter faces a missed deadline of March 19. Additionally, the federal budget's capital gains tax increase is also in limbo
