The Chief Minister received criticism in Tynwald this week after the recent sacking of Rob Callister as Health Minister.
It came following an urgent question by MHK Tim Glover, who asked whether changes to the Council of Ministers line-up affect the stability of government.
Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh said he thinks Alf Cannan 'has been wrong recently,' and suggested he's in a 'precarious and fragile position that points towards instability.'
This was followed by Jason Moorhouse stating that what he's experienced the past week has been 'quite repulsive.'
Alf Cannan defended his decision to make the changes:
Framework of new Sea Services Agreement ready, says minister
Attorney General says he's stepping down
Road closures in two towns for running event this week
Six weekend ferry crossings could face disruption
President of Tynwald announces retirement
