Carney thanks Steven Guilbeault for his service ahead of MP’s resignation
Guilbeault cites Carney’s climate shift after quitting cabinet last year over an Alberta energy deal linked to a pipeline plan.
- On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney thanked former cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault for his contributions as the Liberal MP prepared to resign his seat, with Guilbeault informing caucus of his departure that morning.
- Guilbeault's political future became uncertain after he quit Carney's cabinet last year over an Alberta energy deal that includes an agreement toward a bitumen pipeline to the West Coast.
- Carney thanked Guilbeault for contributions to his Montreal-area riding and noted they worked together when Carney served as UN special representative on climate action and finance, stating 'I have always enjoyed working with him.'
- With Guilbeault's departure, Carney's slim majority government with 174 seats in the House of Commons loses its first MP, though Carney said he respects the decision and expects future collaboration.
- The resignation reflects broader tensions within the Liberal Party over climate policy direction and resource development, as Carney said he understands that 'things change' and individuals must make career decisions.
