OTTAWA — Mark Carney’s oil-and-gas-friendly policies are about to cost him a star lawmaker, dealing a fresh blow to the prime minister’s fragile majority government and environmental credibility.
POLITICO has confirmed that Steven Guilbeault will announce his resignation Wednesday, according to a person granted anonymity to discuss the decision before it is made public.
He’ll later address the House of Commons about the move, amid disillusionment with the trajectory of Carney’s Liberal government policies.
Guilbeault declined to comment.
