Conservative MP John Williamson reacts to Trudeau’s resignation

Conservative MP John Williamson for New Brunswick Southwest said that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation was not surprising.

Trudeau declared his intention to step down as Liberal leader and Prime Minister, but only after a new leader has been elected.

Williamson stressed that Trudeau’s choice was irresponsible for paralyzing Parliament at a crucial time.

“We have so many issues that need the government’s full attention. Parliament needs to get back to work,” Williamson said.

He accused all Liberals of being the same while the Liberal Party started the process of electing a new leader.

“There is no breath of fresh air coming. It is just the ‘same old same old’ looking to replace Justin Trudeau,” he said.

“It’s basically trying to put lipstick on a pig.”

Williamson emphasized that the Conservatives will remain focused on the priorities of Canada as they prepare for an anticipated election later this year.
