Several of Mr. Trudeau’s ministers have publicly pledged their support for his continued leadership this week. The Prime Minister previously said he will lead the party in the next election, but he has not yet responded to questions from the media since this week’s by-election results were confirmed.
“The negative focal point against the government of Canada right now, like it or not, is the Prime Minister,” he said.Another cabinet minister for Mr. Chrétien, John Manley, has previously suggested Mr. Trudeau should resign. He said in an interview Wednesday that the by-election result shows why the Liberal Party must act quickly.
“I know there are a lot of traditional Liberal supporters that comment to me that they didn’t think they were voting for an NDP government,” said Mr. Manley, an MP from 1988 to 2004 who is no longer active in Liberal politics. Mr. Miller, who is a close friend to the Prime Minister, said his advice as a cabinet member and a colleague is for Mr. Trudeau to “absolutely stay on” at the helm. Mr. Miller believes Mr. Trudeau is best placed to take on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault also stated his support for the Prime Minister on Wednesday.
