“If (Trudeau) doesn’t do the right thing and step aside, Canadians will determine his fate this fall”
's resignation as Treasury Board president Monday, citing lost confidence in how the government is handling the SNC-Lavalin issue, revealed a government in chaos, Scheer has said."We have fixed election law on the books and I don't think those should be manipulated for political purposes," he said Monday."Justin Trudeau already stands accused of using political motivations to undermine and to break the law. This is not something that we're calling for.
Under Stephen Harper, Tories ignored their own fixed-election-date legislation to call a snap vote in 2008. Harper said at the time that Parliament had become"dysfunctional." Finance Minister Bill Morneau will table a budget on March 19. A defeat of that legislation — extremely unlikely given the Liberal majority in the House of Commons — would cause the government to fall.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau makes his way to start a news conference in Ottawa on March 7, 2019.
Scheer could also move a longshot motion of no confidence and attempt to pressure Liberal MPs to abandon the government. When asked if he would take such a step last week, Scheer said that,To trigger an election, Scheer would need at least 13 Liberals to jump ship and vote for a no-confidence motion or against Morneau's budget, as well as every Tory, New Democrat, Bloc Quebecois, and Independent MP in the House and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May.
Mr. Trudeau today spoke of an"erosion of trust." On this, he is correct. The real erosion of trust in this whole affair is between Justin Trudeau and Canadians. His is a government that cannot be redeemed. It must be defeated. Conservatives are ready.
