PM Justin Trudeau: ‘I intend to resign as Party leader, as Prime Minister’

"I intend to resign as party leader, as Prime Minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, competitive, nationwide process.

Last night, I asked the President of the Liberal Party to begin that process.

This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and it has become clear to me that if I have to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election."
