Canada Global (Web News) Quebec Liberal MPs are intensifying calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign.
According to sources, Stéphane Lauzon, the chair of the Quebec caucus, consulted with MPs individually over the holidays and communicated their stance to national caucus leadership.
One MP, speaking anonymously due to caucus confidentiality, confirmed that there is a broad consensus among the Quebec MPs that Trudeau should step down.
MP Alexandra Mendès, who was not consulted by Lauzon, stated that the consensus communicated to the caucus chair was that Trudeau should “step away.” However, she noted that the call for his resignation is not entirely unanimous.
While several MPs, including Mendès, Sophie Chatel, Anthony Housefather, and Joël Lightbound, have openly called for Trudeau to step down, other members of the caucus have not confirmed the same position. The Quebec Liberal caucus is set to meet virtually on January 9.
