Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is unlikely to recall Parliament despite demands from opposition leaders. Experts note that Trudeau possesses the legal authority to address President Donald Trump’s tariff threats without requiring new legislation from Parliament.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh have called for an immediate parliamentary session to approve a relief package for border security and workers. However, Trudeau has not responded directly to their demands, focusing instead on meetings with premiers and his cabinet to address the potential tariffs.
Parliament remains suspended until March 24. Government work has been stagnant, even during the last session, due to opposition debates over the Privileges Motion, which effectively paralyzed the House of Commons.
