Prime Minister Justin Trudeau downplayed reports of a revolt from within the Liberal caucus, saying MPs should be focused on supporting Canada during its diplomatic rift with India.
“There will be time to talk about internal party intrigue at another moment, but right now, this government, and indeed all parliamentarians, should be focused on standing up for Canada’s sovereignty, standing against interference, and looking to be there to support Canadians in this difficult moment,” Trudeau told reporters during an Oct. 14 press conference.
