Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told his MPs he would reflect on what they had to say in a three-hour caucus meeting where some Liberals confronted him about his leadership.

Trudeau was smiling when he left the meeting on Wednesday afternoon, and as he walked briskly past a hoard of waiting reporters on Parliament Hill he said only that the Liberal party is 91裸聊视频渟trong and united.91裸聊视频�

While Liberal MPs were tight-lipped about what happened behind closed doors, most agreed with the prime minister that they were indeed united 91裸聊视频� though notably not all would say they were united behind Trudeau.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 the decision of the leader of the party as to whether he stays on as leader,91裸聊视频� said Ontario Liberal MP Yvan Baker.

91裸聊视频淚 think our party is united on a path forward to make sure we91裸聊视频檙e addressing the needs of Canadians, and stopping Pierre Poilievre.91裸聊视频�

More than 50 people spoke at the meeting, said B.C. MP Ken Hardie. He described the conversation as very respectful, and said that caucus must also reflect on what it has heard.

Trudeau made it clear that he feels he91裸聊视频檚 the right person to lead the Liberals into the next election against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, Ontario Liberal MP Charles Souza said after the meeting.

91裸聊视频淛ustin Trudeau is reflecting and he91裸聊视频檚 standing strong, and we91裸聊视频檙e standing strong as well, as a Liberal party,91裸聊视频� Souza told reporters.

91裸聊视频淲e as a party recognize that the real threat here is Pierre Poilievre, and that91裸聊视频檚 what we91裸聊视频檙e fighting for.91裸聊视频�

Ontario Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith said the caucus was scheduled to hear details of the plan for the next election from their newly appointed national campaign director Andrew Bevan, but the conversation about Trudeau91裸聊视频檚 leadership pushed Bevan off the agenda.

91裸聊视频淲e gotta stop the palace intrigue, and we gotta focus on what91裸聊视频檚 most important,91裸聊视频� said Erskine-Smith, who said he told his colleagues the same in the meeting.

91裸聊视频淢y colleagues need to turn the knives outwards and not inwards, and we need to focus on the most important thing, which is getting things done here in Parliament and taking the fight to Pierre Poilievre.91裸聊视频�

Rumours have circulated for weeks that an undisclosed number of Liberal MPs have signed on to an effort to oust the prime minister in the hopes of improving the party91裸聊视频檚 chances in the next election.

Trudeau has so far showed no signs that he plans to step down from the top job, and represented the government in question period with the boisterous support of Liberal MPs in the House Wednesday.

MPs have no way to force the prime minister to leave his post, the decision about whether to stay on or step aside is entirely up to him.

Newfoundland MP Ken McDonald, who has already said he does not plan to run in the next election, said some of his colleagues who do plan to put their name on the ballot are nervous because of poor polling numbers.

He said he signed on to a letter that was presented to Trudeau at the meeting. MPs have been careful not to reveal what exactly the letter said.

McDonald said Trudeau needs to 91裸聊视频渟tart listening, listening to the people.91裸聊视频�

He publicly called for the party to hold a leadership review back in January, but later walked those comments back.

Charlottetown MP Sean Casey also signed the letter. After the meeting, he would not discuss what happened except to say, with a deadpan expression, that it was 91裸聊视频済reat.91裸聊视频�

Before the meeting, Casey had said that he wished there was a mechanism to have a blind ballot so MPs could signal their confidence, or lack of confidence, in Trudeau91裸聊视频檚 leadership anonymously.

New Brunswick MP Wayne Long, who has also said he signed the letter, did not take questions after the meeting.

Trudeau91裸聊视频檚 personal poll numbers plummeted more than a year ago, and the Liberals have consistently trailed the Conservatives in national polls for a year.

Successive byelection losses over the summer in Toronto and Montreal have compounded concerns about his ability to lead the party into the next election.
