A bill guaranteeing pension payments for dozens of MPs elected in 2019 lapsed with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to prorogue Parliament, per Blacklock’s Reporter.
The next fixed election date under the Canada Elections Act is Monday, October 20. MPs first elected in 2019 would not meet the minimum six years’ seniority needed to qualify for a pension until Tuesday, October 21.
