Statement from Green Leader Matt MacFarlane on PC Government’s Eighth Cabinet Shuffle in a Year
Charlottetown, PE – Today Premier Rob Lantz once again shuffled his Cabinet in an attempt to appear as if his government is taking action for Islanders. This is the eighth cabinet shuffle from this government in a year, demonstrating the level of disorganization and distraction within the Premier’s Office.
Right now, Islanders and Canadians want stability and action from their leaders – not more chaos. The current trade war with the U.S. calls for steady and principled provincial leadership. Islanders need a leader who will look at the trade war not as another crisis, but as an opportunity to build the province we want – by making our businesses more competitive, by building a clean and reliable energy sector, by making life more affordable for Islanders.
Shuffling a cabinet will not provide the meaningful change Islanders are looking for. Islanders need a leader who will work with our provincial counterparts and our federal government, stand up for PEI, and build a province that works for everyone. I am calling on Premier Lantz to stop rearranging the deck chairs, call a general election, and let Islanders have a say in their province’s future.
