He's lost 5 lawsuits, and they also found he broke the law in one of them. That's the real reason he's leaving.

The Plastics Ban Overturn: The Federal Court ruled against the government's classification of plastic manufactured items as "toxic," a major blow to Guilbeault's flagship environmental policy. The Impact Assessment Act: The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that parts of the federal "Bill C-69" environmental assessment law were unconstitutional, forcing the federal government to scale back its regulatory overreach into provincial jurisdictions. Species at Risk Act Violation: A federal court formally ruled that Guilbeault broke the law by taking an unreasonable eight-month delay to recommend emergency protections for the endangered Northern Spotted Owl in British Columbia. The Charter Free Speech Lawsuit: Rebel News founder Ezra Levant successfully sued Guilbeault in Federal Court after being blocked on social media. The court forced the minister to unblock Levant and ordered the government to pay $20,000 in legal expenses. Carbon Tax Challenges: Numerous legal actions, including ongoing litigation from groups like the Chiefs of Ontario, were launched directly against his implementation of the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act.
