I’m a Canadian PR, if I sponsor my spouse to be a PR, would I still be able to sponsor my parents for a permanent residency in Canada ?

Yes, subject to the requirements of the PGP program - income and being selected for the "draw."

Note that it may take quite some time and the program requirements may change.

No; spouses can co-sign to be a financial guarantor for their in-laws if the applicant can not meet the financial requirement, but only the applicant him/herself can apply for the actual sponsorship of his/her own parents, not their in-laws. But first, as @armoured already mentioned, you need to be selected from a lottery to be given the opportunity to apply for parental sponsorship.
