Liberal MPs filing out of the caucus meeting Monday night would not say whether the prime minister is staying on or whether he has their support.
Most MPs did not answer questions from reporters as they exited the meeting, saying that what happens in caucus is confidential.
Ruby Sahota said Trudeau has her full support while James Maloney said the prime minister has the confidence of caucus. But Chad Collins, who publicly called for the prime minister to resign on Monday, disagreed.

The caucus meeting began shortly after Dominic LeBlanc was sworn in as finance minister, replacing Chrystia Freeland who announced her resignation earlier in the day.

LeBlanc said he spoke with the prime minister today and the conversation was “entirely focused on the work that we want to do to support Canadians around affordability.”
After Chrystia Freeland's bombshell departure from cabinet Monday morning, several Liberal MPs called for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step aside as well.
