00:00The Globe and Mail reports on Sunday, January 6, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
00:05is expected to announce his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party.
00:09Citing three sources, The Globe and Mail says that while it is unsure of the exact timing,
00:13it anticipates Trudeau will announce his resignation before a crucial national caucus meeting on
00:17Wednesday.
00:18It is unclear whether Trudeau will leave immediately or stay on as Prime Minister until a new leader
00:23is chosen.
00:24His departure leaves the party without a permanent leader ahead of a national election, which
00:28must occur by late October, where polls suggest the Liberals will struggle against the Conservatives.
00:33Discussions have taken place about Finance Minister Dominic Leblanc stepping in as interim
00:37leader.
00:38However, this would be complicated if Leblanc intends to run for permanent leadership.
