This follows a surprise loss for the Liberals in last month's Toronto-St. Paul's byelection. Since then, several Liberal MPs have privately and publicly called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to hold a more substantive meeting to discuss party policy. "We're also very confident that the contrast between our policies and the policies of our opponents is one that we will continue to make, and one Canadians I think will bring into sharper relief as the year goes on."On rumblings of discontent among members of caucus, MacKinnon said there is always a diversity of opinions among the Liberals, but everyone is "four square" behind Trudeau.
The new minister added that he sees "resolve" in his caucus and cabinet colleagues and doesn't believe Canadians are too harsh on polices related to climate change and dental care.
