During a three-hour meeting with his party members on Wednesday, 20 Liberal lawmakers presented PM Trudeau with a letter requesting his resignation before to the next election.Following “robust conversations,” Justin Trudeau declared that the party would proceed with him leading it into the federal elections once more. The overwhelming majority of the 153 members of the Liberal Party in the House of Commons also back him.
“This was a decision he had every right to make and he made it,” Casey told news agency . “I did my job in voicing what I was hearing from constituents and now I have to direct my energy to winning my seat and not internal party matters. As far as I’m concerned it is closed.”
Doubts about Trudeau’s leadership emerged after recent losses in two districts in Toronto and Montreal in special elections. The Liberal party must also rely on the support at least one major party in Parliament, as they don’t hold an outright majority themselves..
If the government doesn’t increase pensions, the leader of the opposition Bloc Québécois has stated that his party will join forces with the Conservatives and the New Democratic Party to defeat the Liberal Party and call for an election.Anytime between now and October of next year, the federal election could be announced.
