After National Democratic Party President Jagmeet Singh announced the withdrawal of external support to the minority Liberal government led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and a motion of no confidence, Liberal MPs also began to pressure Trudeau to step down. is
Liberal MPs are signing a demand letter in this regard. Of course, this list has not been made public, but according to sources, out of 152 Liberal MPs, 45 MPs have agreed to this demand so far.
It is also being understood that Jagmeet Singh has increased the possibility of mid-term elections in the country by taking a strict stand of breaking with Trudeau, but has also strengthened his position in the party. It has to be mentioned that he would have completed six years as a Member of Parliament on February 28. In Canada, those who have been members of Parliament for six years receive a pension for life at the age of 55.
Questions are also being raised on Jagmeet Singh’s opposition to the government on the last day of the House of Commons’ winter function. The spring session may be convened after January 27, usually at the speaker’s discretion.
Political insiders believe that the appointment of Governor General Mrs. Mary Simon was the choice of Justin Trudeau and the speaker is also considered to be close to him. However, the Prime Minister has to resign if any financial bill presented by the government is not passed. Jagmeet Singh has also said that of course the Liberal Party should choose someone else as the leader instead of Justin Trudeau, but they should lose the support of the NDP.
Canada’s political instability is affecting its economy. In the past four days, the price of the Canadian dollar has fallen by 3.5 percent in the international market and now its price has fallen from 61.5 to 59 rupees in the Indian currency, which has also worried financial institutions. Government work will be affected due to the two-week Christmas holiday. The government definitely has until January 5 to defend itself.
