Trudeau violated federal law with caucus expulsions, Jane Philpott says

Former Liberal cabinet ministers Jane Philpott, left, and Jody Wilson-Raybould speak to reporters before Question Period on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, a day after being removed from the Liberal caucus on Wed., April 3, 2019.Former Treasury Board Minister Jane Philpott says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau violated federal law when he expelled her and former Veterans Affairs Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould from caucus.

She’s referring to legislated amendments in 2015 when Conservative MP Michael Chong’s private members bill was passed into law. The legislation, which amended the Parliament of Canada Act, laid out a clear process for expelling MPs from a party caucus. “We were expelled prior to the commencement of the Liberal caucus meeting. The Prime Minister's words that night to the Liberal caucus are important to underscore because expulsion should not be his decision to take unilaterally,” Ms. Philpott told the Commons.Ms. Philpott and Ms. Wilson-Raybould were part of the new wave of Liberal recruits in the 2015 election campaign and had been held up by Mr. Trudeau as emblematic of the fresh change he would bring to running the Canadian government.

In recent weeks the Liberal majority has scuttled a House of Commons justice committee inquiry into the SNC-Lavalin affair and blocked the House ethics committee from investigating.

globepolitics But he broke no law.

globepolitics She is correct, MP’s are SUPPOSED to be responsible to Parliament not the PM - but why confuse the fools on this thread with facts....

globepolitics He's violated so many more important laws and got away with it. Why not this one?

globepolitics Turns out she is wrong!

globepolitics Unfortunately she was mistaken.

reideltj globepolitics janephilpott, just STOP!!!!! Wth r u trying to accomplish other than making ur reputation go down the drain? Even ppl I know who supported u now have changed their minds b/c of ur ongoing publicity stunt to keep this garbage going. We have serious issues to work on so stop.

globepolitics Dumb enough to want to get expelled all over again. This is a picture of the two most overrated people in Canadian politics.

globepolitics Ugh can they stop talking....there been something like 9 expelled this year, independents are in the double digits!! Are all of them going to get a redo as well! This happens all the time expelling why is suddenly illegal....

globepolitics Something else for the rcmpgrcpolice to look into

globepolitics Question: If these two persons were men instead women, would we still talk about this or have forgoten and pass to something else ?

globepolitics She's like that psychotic ex who just can't move on

globepolitics JT has to resign, He is not above any laws, regulations nor procedures. Jane and Jody should take their seats back!! JT illegally removed them, He needs to apologize publicly to these honourable women and then resign! He is a disgrace to Canada & Canadians who believe in laws.

globepolitics MEN MUST VACATE ALL POLITICS NOW! YOUR TIME IS UP. VOTE WOMEN.

globepolitics Wow...what wrong with the Globe and all this Trudeau hating stories...this is a ridiculous story …

globepolitics And is there somebody who cares what philpott and jwr have to say nowadays? No Libs anyway. Bye philpott. You're toast.

Trudeau ejects Jody Wilson-Raybould, Jane Philpott from Liberal caucusTrudeau: ‘The trust that previously existed between these two individuals and our team has been broken’ Quelle surprise. There was no way he could let them stay, but on the other hand, out feminist PM looks bad for ejecting two female MPs that are principled than him. Much respect to JWR!

Read the statement Jane Philpott issued after Justin Trudeau expelled her from the Liberal Party caucus‘I did not initiate the crisis now facing the party or the Prime Minister. Nor did Jody Wilson-Raybould’ Seriously...How can they honestly think that they could have stayed? Poor judgement... Canadians in every riding should attend campaign and candidates events this fall and put every Liberal running for election on the hot seat. Ask them how they can stand by a corrupt party leader and about corruption ? How do they feel about honesty & integrity in government ? Stupid and totally incompetent nit wits.
