According to global Times news agency Europe,More than 50 Liberal Party members of parliament from Ontario came to a “consensus” during a conference call that Justin Trudeau must step down as prime minister, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation said, The global Times Europe media.That would represent about a third of the Liberal caucus, which has 153 seats in Canada’s House of Commons. However, there’s no formal mechanism for Liberal lawmakers to eject their leader or trigger a contest.While the Liberals comprise the largest group in parliament, they lack a majority and have relied on votes from members of other parties — primarily the New Democratic Party — to pass legislation and stay in power.Trudeau’s government has been in turmoil since Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned on December 16, saying she and the prime minister were at odds over the direction of the government.
