With Canada's Prime Minister Stepping down, we reached out to our local member of parliament for a chat.
Dauphin, Swan River, Neepawa MP Dan Mazier is feeling some tempered excitement. He thinks an election is nearing, but notes that prorogued parliament stretches this process.
"It stops all the legislative process. so, on the bright side, they can't introduce any spending bills, budget bills, or anything like that, extra spending. The house, what happens, it goes into a kind of "Maintenance Mode". Right now, when they prorogue, all they can do is run government."
Mazier expressed some anticipation of an election coming soon, but the lack of a liberal leader, and the mess that causes, will push that process back.
This process is slated to last until March 24th, and we'll keep in touch with MP Mazier for updates on this developing situation
