Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is holding a news conference in Ottawa this morning following months of speculation about his future. The Liberal government has been facing pressure to resign due to trailing in the polls and the loss of support from the NDP.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called a news conference in Ottawa this morning amid growing calls for his resignation. The Prime Minister's Office called reporters to Rideau Cottage for 10 a.m. ET and Trudeau is set to speak at 10:45 a.m. ET. It follows months of speculation over whether Trudeau will decide to step aside and trigger a leadership race.
The Liberals have trailed badly behind the Conservatives in the polls for more than a year and in September the NDP ended the supply-and-confidence agreement that was propping up the Liberal government. Over the winter holiday break, Trudeau took time to reflect on his future amid growing calls from his caucus to step down. Trudeau has ducked questions from the media for weeks and cancelled all his year-end interviews with news organizations after his Chrystia Freeland resigned from cabinet as finance minister on Dec. 16.
