Expressing concern over the turmoil within the Green Party following the resignation of the party’s president, Kitchener Center MP Mike Morrice’s staff sent an email to the party’s top officials, saying that the party’s federal council was considering a halt to the leadership race and close the Ottawa office would cause irreparable damage.

He wrote that the party will not be able to recover from this loss. If this happens, the party MPs will be left with no option but to leave the party and behave as independent MPs. A Spokesman for the Green Party said on Monday that talks were underway and party officials were thinking of resolving the matter internally and only after that the matter would be made public. In a statement issued on Monday, Mike Morrice said he was deeply disappointed by the infighting within the party.

Former party leader and second sitting MP Elizabeth May declined to comment on the subject. May is also fighting the leadership race with Jonathan Pednault on the joint ticket.

The party was planning to announce its new leader in Ottawa on Saturday, after it started counting over 400,000 ballots that have been cast in the party’s leadership race.

But after the Queen’s death, it will not be possible because there is a wave of mourning in Canada like Britain at this moment.

In a statement on Thursday, Eon Brody, chair of the party’s Leadership Election Organising Committee, said that party will respect the protocols surrounding Queen Elizabeth’s death.

Brody said the committee was considering a reasonable time to announce the results of this leadership race.

Earlier, the party had booked a space at a convention centre in downtown Ottawa and already sold tickets for $150.

In a minor reshuffle, Jazac has been appointed Canada’s new Minister of Public Service and Procurement, while Tassi has been appointed as the Federal Economic Development Agency Minister for Southern Ontario. The reshuffle follows Tassi’s request to spend more time in Southern Ontario due to some family reasons. At the same time, Trudeau also made it clear that he had no desire to reshuffle his cabinet.

“It’s been less than a year since the election and our government is working very hard to help Canadians in every way possible,” Trudeau said after Governor-General Mary Simon handed over her office to the two ministers. We will continue this kind of hard work.

On this occasion, Tasi clarified that her husband had received two strokes early last year and it is very important to take care of his health. That is why he reached out to the Prime Minister and sought such help.
