Steven Guilbeault steps down as MP for Laurier–Sainte-Marie
The MP for Laurier—Sainte-Marie said he's leaving government on a matter of principle because the party's direction on energy and the environment changed under Carney's leadership.
Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault has officially resigned his seat in the Montreal riding of Laurier—Sainte-Marie, citing a disagreement with the party's shift in energy and environmental policies under Prime Minister Mark Carney. This is not the first resignation of its kind this year, as Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall from Saskatchewan has also announced her intention to step down, having previously expressed plans to do so until the next election.
Following their departures, Conservative candidate Nelson Pohl will represent the party in Wagantall's Yorkton-Melville riding during the upcoming election.
