Hastings-Lennox and Addington MP Shelby Kramp-Neuman has shared with myFM that it did not come as a surprise when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he was stepping down as leader of the Liberal Party and as Prime Minister once a replacement is found.
She also feels like for many other Canadians, it was a sigh of relief.
She also shared that for millions of struggling Canadians, “Justin Trudeau’s announcement Monday changes nothing.
Grocery prices are still too high, fuel and heating is still unaffordable, families are still forced to decide between food and rent, and he is still Prime Minister.”
When it comes time, Shelby says she’s ready for an election.
The MP also shared in a statement to myFM a reminder to Canadians that the Prime Minister did not pass legislation alone; “he did it with the full throated support of both his caucus and the NDP. Only when they started polling at historic lows did they abandon their political master in a vain attempt to hold on to the rein of power. This is especially true of the NDP, which is why I call on the leader of the NDP to keep his promise he made to Canadians and vote no confidence in this government at the next possible opportunity, regardless of who is leading it.”
