        So far, none of the Canadian politicians who have admitted to heading overseas during the holidays have stepped down from office.

        We’ve seen public servants quit, and elected leaders have been stripped of cabinet posts and other positions, but none have stepped down.

        Do you think they should leave office over travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite official advice for Canadians not to travel abroad unnecessarily?
