Governor General Mary Simon, who closed Parliament at the request of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is listed as a mentor of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, a Trudeau family organization named after Justin’s father.
Simon now serves as Canada’s Governor General, the federal representative of the Canadian monarch. As such, Trudeau’s request to suspend Parliament to allow for a Liberal leadership race was approved by Simon before taking affect.
