Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault officially resigned his Montreal seat for Laurier–Sainte-Marie on the House of Commons website, stepping down on a matter of principle over shifts in the Liberal Party's energy and environmental direction under Prime Minister Mark Carney. Guilbeault's departure follows the federal government's decisions to drop the consumer carbon tax and endorse the construction of new pipelines out of Alberta. Other parliamentary resignations noted include Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall, Bloc Québécois MP Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay, and Québec solidaire candidate Alexandre Boulerice.
