If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to shuffle his cabinet or make any changes to his team of senior political aides, he should do so as soon as possible to calm caucus members’ jittery nerves as unfolding events are creating an atmosphere of unpredictability for the governing party, say Liberal MPs.
“It’s better to have it now. People expect there’s going to be some change, and that we need to see that change happen soon so that people can move on with their lives,” said one Liberal MP who spoke on a not-for-attribution basis to share their candid views. “Whether it’s leadership [change] in the PMO, in the party—definitely cabinet—[or a] change in orientation in moving to the centre.”
