OTTAWA — Former environment minister Steven Guilbeault will resign as a Liberal MP, a source confirmed to the National Post. The decision stems from his opposition to the Carney government's environmental policies.
Resignation Announcement
Guilbeault is set to inform his colleagues during Wednesday morning's caucus meeting and will deliver a speech in the House of Commons later that afternoon to explain his reasons.
A source close to Guilbeault confirmed the news after multiple media outlets reported the impending resignation. The source emphasized that Guilbeault's departure is directly linked to the government's environmental direction under Prime Minister Carney.
Timing and Impact
Guilbeault is expected to remain an MP until the end of the spring parliamentary session to avoid jeopardizing the government's slim majority, the source added.
More details are expected to follow as the situation develops.
