PEI Legislature to be prorogued and begin March 25 with Speech from the Throne

New PEI Premier Rob Lantz has announced that the Legislature is to be prorogued for 30 days. Lantz issued a statement late Friday afternoon saying that after he was sworn-in as Premier, the provincial Cabinet met and passed a resolution to prorogue the Legislature Assembly and reconvene on March 25th, with a Speech from the Throne delivered by Lieutenant Governor Wassim Salamoun.  Premier Lantz says the Speech from the Throne will set out the priorities of his government in the face of tariffs and uncertain economic times.
