Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed his eagerness to return to Ottawa and confront Pierre Poilievre in the House of Commons, as he urged his party to present a united front against the Conservatives.
The three-day Liberal caucus retreat in Nanaimo, B.C., provided Trudeau with his first opportunity to address his MPs collectively since their defeat in a longstanding Liberal riding in Toronto, which was won by the Conservatives.
This loss led to a tumultuous summer, and the retreat's focus was on reuniting the party and redirecting their attention towards the Tories.
Trudeau acknowledged the diverse opinions within the caucus regarding the party's strategy and his leadership, but emphasized his commitment to the initiatives his government is undertaking for Canadians.
The Liberals are poised for another test with upcoming byelections in Montreal and Winnipeg.
Trudeau asserted that voters in these byelections and the next national election will face a choice between Poilievre’s plan to cut services and the Liberal plan to invest in Canada.
