One Liberal MP described the meeting as ‘the first time we’ve had a caucus meeting where people actually spoke their mind.’
Two-term B.C. Liberal MP Patrick Weiler read out a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the party’s national caucus meeting on Oct. 23, telling the full Liberal caucus that 24 MPs have signed the document calling for the leader’s resignation by Oct. 28, according to Liberal sources.
Weiler (West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country, B.C.), who was unavailable for an interview by deadline, was the first speaker at the highly anticipated Oct. 23 Liberal national caucus meeting. The letter was later handed over to Trudeau (Papineau, Que.). The document contained only the text of the letter, but not the signatures of the 24 dissident MPs.
