OTTAWA — Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said she is"absolutely confident" the majority of Liberal MPs still support Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as leader.
There is no mechanism for caucus to force the prime minister to step down as leader, and he has so far not wavered in his plans to stay on. Details about the exact strategy and breadth of the attempt to push Trudeau to resign remains unclear, though some MPs who have spoken to The Canadian Press on background say the number of MPs involved is significant.
Trudeau could avert both problems by taking the controversial step of proroguing Parliament, which some political watchers have mused would allow time for a Liberal leadership race if he were to step down.
