The majority of the Liberal caucus wants Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down in the wake of last week’s resignation of his second in command, say Liberal MPs Anthony Housefather and Chandra Arya.

“I see very few people that think he should stay,” Housefather, a Montreal-area MP, said during a Dec. 22 interview with CBC. “The vast majority of people I am talking to, whether they have gone public or not, believe he needs to go.”
