FREELAND IN FINANCE; GOVERNMENT PROROGUED

OTTAWA – With Chrystia Freeland now sworn in as federal finance minister, the Liberal government will prorogue Parliament and introduce a new throne speech before Parliament resumes in the fall.  

    Conservative finance critic Pierre Poilievre said he did not have hope that Freeland replacing Morneau would mark a change in policy or direction for the Liberals.

   “Regardless, though, of how you play musical chairs, we still have the same corrupt and incompetent prime minister ahead of the same corrupt and chaotic government.”

   Proroguing will shut down the House of Commons committees investigating the WE Charity scandal and remove the legislation currently on Parliament’s order paper.
