Immigration minister calls attempt to oust PM ‘passive-aggressive … weak’ [Video]

Immigration Minister Marc Miller said Friday that an attempt by Liberal caucus members to get Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down is “the most passive-aggressive” display he has ever seen.

Miller told host Marcy Markusa on CBC’s Information Radio that any MP who signed a letter calling for Trudeau to be replaced as leader “owes it” to the prime minister to tell him personally.

“If they’re fearful, that’s a reflection on them and their own leadership in their communities,” he said.

Multiple news outlets, including CBC, have reported that Liberal MPs will in the coming days present a document to Trudeau signed by caucus members who are asking him to step down from the leadership.

Trudeau has said repeatedly he intends to lead the Liberal Party into the next election.

Miller called the alleged push to oust Trudeau “weak” and said any MP involved would “look horribly entitled and worried about their own futures.”
