Canada Global(Web News)Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rejected a suggestion by longtime Liberal loyalist and current senator Percy Down that Trudeau should step down now. A new Liberal Party leader should be given a chance. .
These views were expressed publicly by Senator Percy Down this week. He made it clear that he only felt it was right to say so publicly after the Liberals’ continued negative polling trend, economic instability and rumors of other leaders lining up to replace Trudeau. Down said. Several caucus members have heard that the time between now and February is critical for the party and the party should look within itself before choosing the next path.
When Downe was asked why this claim was not made by other Liberals, he said that he had discussed it in secret and for a number of reasons, it does not come out in the open. One of the main reasons behind this is that the party leader has to sign his nomination form.
When asked about Down’s statement, Trudeau dismissed Percy’s statement, saying he had no intention of resigning and would lead the Liberal Party into the next election.
