Can an MP be forced to resign and, if so, how?`

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Jacques Gallant, Toronto Star political reporter Whenever a politician gets into trouble, people look up the steps for recourse but the truth is it's very difficult to remove an elected official from office. Such a mechanism is once again in the spotlight in part due to Kevin Vuong, a controversial politician who recently won a seat as a Member of Parliament for Spadina-Fort York in Toronto. Amidst growing calls for his resignation, he currently remains adamant he will serve out his term. Will it happen? Options are few and rarely used.
