The leader of the main opposition in Canada's House of Commons, Pierre Poilievre is going to contest the federal election for a minister of Punjabi origin from the Ontario government.

Yesterday Parm Gill has resigned as MLA and Cabinet Minister of the province.

Parm Gill said that the people of his constituency wanted him to join Pierre Poilievre.

Gill was a two-time MLA from Milton constituency.

Premier Doug Ford had previously made him Citizenship and Multiculturalism Minister in 2021 and was Red Tape Reduction Minister at the time of his resignation.

Gill said that he decided to submit his resignation after much discussion with his wife and family.

He said he would continue to fight for the people of Milton by joining Poilievre's Conservative team in efforts to defeat Justin Trudeau's Liberal-NDP coalition.

It is to be noted that the next federal elections are to be held in October.

According to the polls, this time Trudeau's Liberals are going to have a tough competition with Poilievre.

On the other hand, if we talk about Premier Doug Ford's government in Ontario, Param Gill is the fourth minister to resign from his cabinet.
