If it comes to it, the Speaker has the authority to kick her out of the office she’s occupied since 2018, when she was still a Liberal cabinet minister

Independent MP Jody Wilson-Raybould says she is considering her options now that she has received a list of potential offices for her to move into — but she doesn’t have many. The former Liberal cabinet minister says she was originally told she could stay in her offices, located on the fourth floor of the Confederation Building in Ottawa, but that changed, on Dec. 5.

This time, the Liberals get to choose first, then the Conservatives, the Bloc Québécois, the NDP and then everyone else. Forty-eight incumbents lost their bid for re-election in October, freeing up 48 offices, but that doesn’t mean that parties have to choose from those offices.There are offices located in the Centre Block, East Block and West Block on Parliament Hill, and the Valour, Wellington, Confederation and Justice buildings.

Chapter six of the House of Commons Procedure and Practice mentions two cases where MPs tried and failed to overturn a decision regarding the reassignment of their offices. In 1991, Louis Plamondon raised a question of privilege over the matter after he left the Progressive Conservative Party to form the Bloc Québécois and lost his office.

She's still agitating...

Jody thinks the rules don't apply to her. Her will shall bend.

This is the National Post isn't it? I would have thought you would have had Rex criminal Conrad, and Stephen jump all over this and tell us how this was all JT's fault and JWR should be given a suite at the Ritz for the duration of her tenure.

The Speaker of the House of Commons 'overseas'...?

This is all very true, but no one can deny that she is sincerely beautiful

Really so petty. Why is Jody giving cause for her former cabinet ministers opportunity to say 'see told ya what she was like'?

Jody Wilson-Raybould facing possible eviction from Parliament Hill office spaceHouse of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota confirmed the Independent MP could be removed from her current office space if she does not leave on her own Talk about arrogance. Would love to see her hauling her junk out in brown bankers boxes JWR It's all a set up to force Trudeau into evicting her. He gave her a top job, she crumpled, and now she blames everyone but herself. She will never look at her own behavior. She insists on staying on in her offices? That's right - a suite of offices. Entitlement? Exceptionalism? Narcissism?
