Elected officials in Quebec were quick to react to the major announcement in Ottawa Monday about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the path forward for the federal Liberal Party.

Trudeau said in an address from Rideau Cottage that he is stepping down as leader of the party and will remain prime minister until a new leader is chosen, citing "internal battles" within his own party as the reason for his decision.

Anthony Housefather, the Liberal MP for Mount Royal, publicly called on the prime minister to step down three weeks ago and on Monday he said Trudeau made the right choice.

"He made the right decision for the country and for the party," he told CTV News in an interview.

As an early federal election looms, Housefather said the Liberals needed to have an alternative to Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who has been leading by a vast margin in the polls.
