A Calgary Liberal MP is joining a growing number of members in Justin Trudeau’s caucus calling for a secret ballot vote on the prime minister’s future as leader of the party.
Speaking Tuesday, Calgary Skyview MP George Chahal said a secret ballot vote on whether Trudeau should step down would help members express their opinions and be unified in support of the party leadership.
“I think all cabinet ministers and MPs should want to move forward and clear the air, and I think the best way to do that is to show support of our leadership, and many of our cabinet colleagues have said there’s overwhelming support; I think that needs to be shown,” Chahal said.
“I think a secret ballot is a great way to do that so we can move forward.”
The Liberals held a caucus meeting on Wednesday, which was expected to include continued discussions around the party’s leadership and the next election.
