爱德华王子岛省省长罗布·兰茨面临领导权审查呼声57分钟前|时长 5:58 在爱德华王子岛省立法会议开幕首日,兰茨因其领导下的省情受到批评,而其本党部分成员透露,他们已发起一项审查其领导权的请愿。CBC记者史蒂夫·布鲁斯和韦恩·蒂博多报道了此事。

P.E.I. Premier Rob Lantz faces calls for leadership review 57 minutes ago|Duration 5:58On the opening day of the P.E.I. legislative session, Lantz faced criticism over the state of the province under his leadership, while some in his own party revealed their petition for a review of his leadership. CBC reporters Steve Bruce and Wayne Thibodeau with that story.

爱德华王子岛省进步保守党部分成员签署的一份正式请愿书,要求对省长罗布·兰茨的领导权进行投票。

A formal petition signed by some members of the P.E.I. Progressive Conservative Party is calling for a vote on Premier Rob Lantz's leadership.

兰茨在二月的领导权竞选中以53.1%的得票率击败马克·莱德韦尔,从而确立了其党魁和省长的地位。

Lantz secured his position as party leader and premier following a leadership contest win in February over Mark Ledwell with 53.1 per cent of the vote.

该党长期成员马蒂·墨菲表示,目前请愿书已有超过120名成员签署。她说,该党部分成员已感到气馁。

Martie Murphy, a longtime member of the party, said the petition is currently signed by more than 120 members. She said some in the party have become discouraged.

“我们觉得,如果不采取行动,政治上就完蛋了,因为在目前的领导下,我们的民调支持率不会上升,”她说。

"We feel like doing nothing is political demise because we're not going to climb up in the polls with the leadership the way that it is," she said. "It's really everybody. It's a combination of rural, city.

“这真的是所有人。这是农村和城市的结合体。所以,所有对爱德华王子岛目前所处位置感到担忧的人都参与其中。领导权正受到质疑。他们已经失去了岛民和党员的信任。”

So it's everybody that has a concern where the Island sits right now. The leadership is in question. They have lost the confidence from Islanders and party members."

进步保守党党员马蒂·墨菲表示,请愿书目前已有超过120名党员签署。她说,该党部分成员已感到气馁。(史蒂夫·布鲁斯/CBC)该请愿书和决议已送交党协会,要求在未来15天内召开一次特别大会,就此问题进行投票。

PC Party member Martie Murphy says the petition is currently signed by more than 120 party members. She says some in the party have become discouraged. (Steve Bruce/CBC) The petition and resolution, sent to the party association, is asking for a special general meeting for voting on the issue to be held within the next 15 days.

兰茨将有机会在会议上发言,成员将通过秘密投票决定是否希望他下台。之后,下一步行动将由兰茨自行决定。“公众支持率低”该决议指出,在财政责任以及透明度和问责制方面存在担忧,指该省“迅速升级且不可持续的赤字”,并称“对现任领导层及其负责任地管理该省财政事务的能力存在重大疑问”。

Lantz would have an opportunity to speak at the meeting, and members would vote by secret ballot on whether they want him to step down. Then, it would be up to Lantz to decide next steps. 'Weak public support' The resolution notes concerns regarding financial responsibility as well as transparency and accountability, pointing to the province's "rapidly escalating and unsustainable deficit," and says there are "significant questions about the current leadership and its ability to responsibly manage the Province's financial affairs."

决议还表示,进步保守党“继续经历历史性低迷的公众支持,连续民调均未显示出有意义的改善,表明不仅党内成员,选民整体的信心正在日益丧失,使该党未来的选举可行性及其组建政府的能力面临严重风险。”

It goes on to state that the PC Party "continues to experience historically weak public support, with no meaningful improvement reflected in consecutive polls, demonstrating a growing loss of confidence not only among party members but across the electorate, placing the party's future electoral viability and its ability to form government at serious risk."

分析:为何爱德华王子岛秋季立法会会议可能是多年来对三个政党都至关重要的一次会议兰茨表示,随着爱德华王子岛计划进行重大未来投资,他仍是合适的领导人兰茨表示,他已知悉该党收到了请愿书,并将“让党内自行处理此事”。

Analysis Why P.E.I.'s fall legislature sitting could be the most consequential in years for all 3 parties Lantz says he’s still the right leader as P.E.I. plans major future investments Lantz said he is aware the party has received the petition and he will "let the party work through that."

他补充说,该党拥有超过7200名成员,根据其章程,需要75个签名才能迫使举行领导层投票。

He added the party has more than 7,200 members and that, under its constitution, it takes 75 signatures to compel a leadership vote.

“那门槛相当低。但与此同时,我只是专注于政府工作和岛民的优先事项,”他说。“是的,这是一种干扰,但我专注于我当选要做的工作。”

"That's a pretty low bar. But in the meantime, I'm just focused on the work of government and the priorities of Islanders," he said. "Yes, this is a distraction, but I'm focused on the work that I was elected to do." P.E.I.

爱德华王子岛省长罗布·兰茨表示,他觉得今年早些时候的领导层选举结果“有一小部分人”从未接受。(Rick Gibbs/CBC)兰茨表示,他觉得有一小部分人“从未接受领导层选举的结果”,并且他们正在“试图迫使举行讨论”。

Premier Rob Lantz says he feels there is 'a small number of people' who never accepted the results of the leadership convention earlier this year. (Rick Gibbs/CBC) Lantz said he feels there is "a small number of people" who never accepted the results of the leadership convention and they are "trying to compel a discussion."

“在我看来,他们只是想把时钟拨回,推翻该党做出的民主决定,但事实如此,”他说。

"It appears to me they just want to roll back the clock to reverse a democratic decision that was made by this party, but it is what it is," he said.

“我们将经历这一过程,但之后人们将不得不继续前进,专注于为岛民工作。”

"We'll go through this process, but then people are going to have to move on and focus on working for Islanders."

PC党主席罗伯特·拉森通过电子邮件确认,该党收到了一份要求召开特别大会的请愿书,但未说明此类会议何时举行,也未说明是否会对兰茨的领导地位进行投票。他说,该党正在就党章现在要求什么咨询法律顾问。

PC Party president Robert Larsen confirmed via email the party received a petition requesting a special general meeting but did not say when such a meeting may happen or if a vote on Lantz's leadership would occur. He said the party is consulting legal counsel on what is now required under the party constitution.

关于兰茨领导地位的问题周二在立法机构质询时间被提出,自由党反对党领袖哈尔·佩里表示,该省面临“许多严峻挑战”,并补充说“令人难过的是,这些困难中的许多源于省政府”。

Questions regarding Lantz's leadership were brought up in the legislature during question period Tuesday, with Liberal Opposition Leader Hal Perry stating the province is facing "many serious challenges," adding "it is so sad that the source of many of these difficulties is the provincial government."

自由党反对党领袖哈尔·佩里在质询时间表示,该省面临“许多严峻挑战”,并将政府指为问题根源。(爱德华王子岛立法议会)“与其带着清晰的愿景和计划领导,这届政府却从一个错误跌到另一个错误。与其说是实质,不如说是拍照和发Facebook,而不是政策和钱包,”佩里说。

Liberal Opposition Leader Hal Perry said during question period that the province is facing 'many serious challenges' and pointed to the government as the source. (P.E.I. Legislative Assembly) "Rather than leading with a clear vision and plan, this government stumbles from one mistake to another. Instead of substance, it's photo-ops and Facebook rather than policy and pocketbooks," Perry said.

“这个省还没有机会支持这位省长或他的计划,而这位省长却在做着极具长期性且可能造成损害的决定。”

"This province has not had the opportunity to endorse this premier or his plans and yet this premier is making incredibly long-term and potentially damaging decisions."

兰茨回应佩里说,岛民以“强大多数”选举了进步保守党政府,并且该政府“每天都在履行这一授权”。

Lantz responded to Perry that Islanders elected the Progressive Conservative government "with a strong majority" and that it is "delivering on that mandate every day."

“岛民希望我们专注于医疗保健的可及性、加油站的油价、保护就业免受关税影响,而我们正在这样做,”兰茨说。

"Islanders want us focused on access to care, on the price at the pump, protecting jobs from tariffs, and that's what we're doing," Lantz said.

“他们不希望我们现在专注于选举。我们正在履行被赋予的授权,并且将继续这样做。”

"They don't want us focused on an election right now. We're delivering on a mandate that we were given and that's what we'll continue to do."
