Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland confirmed she hosted a meeting with Toronto-area MPs in her backyard Wednesday to discuss the party’s surprise byelection loss and “what Canadians are telling us.”

“It was a really, really valuable opportunity for us to talk with each other, to talk about the results of the byelection, ... to talk about hearing what Canadians are telling us, and to talk about working really, really hard to do a better job of delivering for Canadians,” she told reporters on July 4.
