OTTAWA — Several Liberal MPs are calling for a secret ballot vote on Justin Trudeau's leadership after he made clear he isn't going anywhere in spite of the calls from within his caucus to step down.
But one day after that meeting, Trudeau was unequivocal about his plans to lead the party into the next election."We do continue to ask and push for a secret ballot," Long said in an interview Monday.There's no mechanism for Liberals to remove their leader against their will. There is also no way for MPs to force an anonymous vote on Trudeau's leadership.
While the Monday deadline has passed, Long said there were no plans among those Liberals who signed the letter to block government business in parliament or create unrest. The Trudeau government will be tested again on Tuesday when it hits another deadline set by the Bloc Québécois.
