Prime Minister Justin Trudeau still enjoys the support of his cabinet even though polls suggest the Liberal government is stuck in a losing position as it approaches the nine-year mark in office.
Asked if they had any second thoughts about keeping Trudeau on after watching what has transpired in the U.S., ministers said the Canadian political landscape is different. That's a strategy that includes a renewed focus on policies Canadians say they want the government to address, Miller said, like tackling persistent affordability concerns and improving social programs.
Housing Minister Sean Fraser was also asked if the U.S. experience of replacing a leader and seeing a surge in popularity has caused him to question whether it's time for Trudeau to go.Asked to clarify that he still supports Trudeau, Fraser said: "I'm gonna keep working alongside him as a good partner for my community, and we'll look forward to continuing to support him in the next election.
"The message I heard is, we believe in the work that we are doing, we know we need to listen to Canadians and deliver for Canadians on key priorities," Freeland said, adding that more affordable housing and economic growth are among the issues MPs — like the Canadians they represent — want to see better addressed.
