Mark carneyThe Liberal Party has won the federal election of Canada and will form the next government. However, it is not yet clear whether the party has achieved a lump sum majority or not, confirm the estimates that the liberals led the next Parliament.
Has the winner been declared?
Shortly after the EDT (around 7:30 AM IST) at 10:00, Canada’s public broadcaster CBC News estimated that Mark Carney’s Liberal Party would secure enough seats to form the next government.
While the counting of the vote is still going on, it is uncertain whether the 172-sites required for the liberal majority will reach the threshold.
Election Canada has manually continued to count the ballot papers in the presence of witnesses, expecting the final seat yoga in the coming hours.
Is Mark Carney already Prime Minister?
After the resignation of Justin Trudeau on March 14, the oath as Prime Minister, Carney will continue to post without the need for a new swearing -in ceremony.
He has to continue as PM after his election victory. If he chooses a reshuffle in his cabinet, changes will require a formal swearing -in ceremony headed by the Governor General in the Redu Hall.
As long as there is no reshuffle, the current cabinet minister will remain in his current roles.
What has Carney said about his priorities?
Former Canadian bank and Governor of Bank of England, Carney, have emphasized on the reconstruction of Canada’s economic relations with the US.
After his discussion at the end of March, the two leaders agreed to start a conversation on establishing fresh economic and security participation after the election.
After the reconstruction of Parliament, liberals are expected to introduce bills with the aim of strengthening Canada’s economy against American tariff pressures. His agenda includes:
- Introduce a medium-class tax cut.
- Start a “One Project, One Review” process to speed up approval for energy and mining projects.
- Invest C $ 5 billion in a business diversification fund.
- Canada’s ambitions to be “clean and traditional energy” to be a superpower.
Why was this election important?
The election was against the background of the dangers of Donald Trump, who warned of standing tariffs and even suggested Canada that the 51st American state could become – one step seen many people as a protest for Canadian sovereignty.
Internal, the new government faces pressure to address rising housing and food prices and manage an increase in immigration.
Is there a majority government of liberals?
This is not clear. At this time. Among the current estimates, the Liberal Party is shown as the largest in the House of Commons, but they cannot reach the 172-seat mark required for a lump sum majority.
If the final count confirms a deficiency, Mark Carney will lead the minority government. This would mean that liberals should rely on the support of other parties so that the major law can be passed and important beliefs in Parliament should survive the votes.
Now what happens to conservatives?
The Conservative Party led by Pierre Polevere improved its vote share significantly – with about 41% of the election reporting – and 148 seats are expected to win, above 120.
Despite the benefits, they decreased by forming the government. This result is a shock for the party, which was expected to win a few months ago.
Now, conservatives have to decide whether to continue under pool or look for new leadership. He is the third conservative leader since 2015.
The Conservative Party is estimated to continue in its role as official opposition. Whereas, Carney’s new term begins with global investigation, domestic economic stress and challenge to define the role of Canada.
