This decision comes after a prolonged period of parliamentary gridlock, marking the longest session of a minority parliament in Canadian history.

In a statement, Prime Minister Trudeau stated, 'Parliament has been paralyzed for months, and it is clear that we need a fresh start. This morning, I informed the Governor General of the need for a new session of parliament, and she has approved the prorogation of the House until March 24.'
