“Like a family”: Liberal MPs tight-lipped after caucus confrontation against Trudeau

In the face of a leadership challenge against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, several Liberal MPs came out of a three-hour caucus meeting on Wednesday, where some party members reportedly confronted him about his leadership. The officials expressed that the party was united, but they were tight-lipped about what exactly happened behind the closed doors. Minister of Innovation François-Philippe Champagne compared what happens in caucus to being “like a family.” “You need to listen to each other. You need to make sure you welcome the views of people. But at the end, it’s like a dinner table. At the end of the dinner, we all need to come out in relentless focus on serving Canadians and winning the next election,” Champagne said. Up to 30 Liberal MPs have signed an internal document calling on Trudeau to step aside, sources have told Global News. The MPs have no formal mechanism to depose Trudeau as party leader, which means the decision on whether to stay or go is ultimately up to him.
