Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has ‘no interest’ in fall election

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday said he and his party have “no interest” in a fall election, saying they are focused on building the economy back following the COVID-19 pandemic. He said they’ll be putting forward a “strong, ambitious plan” forward for the government to vote on, and it would be up to Opposition parties to decide whether they have confidence in the plan. He said the Throne Speech would recognize inequities COVID-19 have highlighted, reduction of carbon emissions and other aspects he said the government has been focused on.
