Manitobans are reacting to Justin Trudeau’s resignation as Liberal leader and his decision to prorogue to Parliament until March to allow for a leadership race.
Kevin Lamoureux, the Liberal Member of Parliament for Winnipeg North, said it’s hard to see Trudeau go, but he can appreciate that people in his party were looking for a change.
“I genuinely believe that Trudeau does have a very strong following that's out there, and the more people got to know who Pierre Poilievre is, the more comfortable they would be with Justin Trudeau,” he said.
“Justin does have a fantastic ability to communicate with people; we've seen that during elections. Where he took us out of third place into the majority government. But I value the opinion of Canadians, and it would seem during the last number of months that he would have had a pretty tough hill to climb.”
Lamoureux, who will be seeking re-election in his riding, said he will paying close attention to the upcoming federal leadership convention.
“At the at the end of the day, there's lots of time here for us to be able to have a good quality convention,” he said. “Hopefully, we'll get a number of people entering into that race, and at the end of the day, it will bring a different type of life to the party.”
