Some Liberal MPs, including one who expressed full support for the Prime Minister during the October caucus revolt, are asking him to step down after Chrystia Freeland tended her resignation from cabinet.

MP Francis Drouin told CBC News the prime minister “needs to go,” saying he has been a “great defender” of Trudeau “but I just don’t see how we move forward.”
