Episode notes
Unexpected MP Resignation Affects Budget Math
- Matt Jeneroux announced his resignation from Parliament in a letter citing it was the right decision for him.
- Tom Perry explains the move came amid rumours some Conservatives considered crossing to the Liberals, affecting the budget math.

- The Liberals need only a couple of opposition votes or abstentions to pass the budget in a minority Parliament.
- The NDP's seven members could therefore hold decisive influence over the budget outcome.

- Supporters including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Dr. Oz and a U.S. billionaire campaigned to spare the birds but officials proceeded.
