Liberal caucus staying quiet after major byelection defeat that rattled party

MP Terry Duguid stands during question period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Tuesday, March 29, 2022.A Liberal campaign co-chair insists his caucus is united behind Justin Trudeau , even as the majority of elected Liberals remain silent on the prime minister’s political future.

The Canadian Press contacted dozens of Liberal MPs following the unexpected loss of a Toronto stronghold in a byelection earlier this week, but only a small handful have been willing to speak on the record. All of those, including Manitoba MP and campaign co-chair Terry Duguid, insist the caucus is united behind Trudeau.Duguid admits many MPs are frustrated but adds those feelings stem from the struggle to connect with Canadians, not concerns about the prime minister.

While some regional caucuses have met since Monday, the full caucus isn’t scheduled to meet again until a retreat in British Columbia before the House of Commons returns in September.Trudeau to remain party leader as Liberals demand urgent changes after stunning by-election lossTwo former Liberal ministers say Trudeau should resign following Toronto by-election lossCreate free account
