Amid questions around his political future, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said last week's Toronto byelection loss 'was challenging' and should be taken 'seriously.'
Since the surprise Conservative win in the riding of Toronto-St. Paul’s — a Liberal stronghold for more than three decades until then — Trudeau said the party has been “engaged in lots of important conversations.”
“These are the things that we need to continue to focus on as Canadians are facing challenging times right now and we will continue to do that,” the prime minister said.Long said in an email to the party caucus, obtained by Global News, that “new leadership” was needed.“For the future of our party and for the good of our country we need new leadership and a new direction,” Long wrote. “The voters have spoken loud and clear they want change. I agree.
Within the caucus, Trudeau said that “the conversations that we’re all having as Liberals are going to continue.”“There are, as always, a range of perspectives and voices within the Liberal Party and listening to all those voices and giving them all time to engage is really, really important,” Trudeau said.
