Are #Ottawa journos covering the Fed. govt stuck permanently in lockup until Trudeau names a new finmin? Will Mark Carney ride in valliantly to save them before they starve between now and the main budget times? #cdnpoli

@johnefrancis I heard they were released from lockup before seeing the FES.

[grivettcarnac@mstdn.social]

@dairpo @johnefrancis yep. CBC broadcasted live from the lock up room showing the copies all covered by a black cloth

[johnefrancis@cosocial.ca]

@grivettcarnac @dairpo covered by a black cloth? Didn't they just do that when the Queen died?

OMG! Did the economy die?

@johnefrancis I'm hoping Carney needs to win an election before he can sit in cabinet.

[johnefrancis@cosocial.ca]

@human3500 I don't think there's any requirement for it. Cabinet is the crown's appointee on advice of PM. Unelected ministers have occurred.
