Canada News LIVE: 'It Has Not Been An Easy Day': Trudeau Speaks for 1st Time After Freeland's Resignation | CNBC TV18
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government was thrown into turmoil Monday after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned in a letter addressed to the PM, which she posted on social media. By the end of a whirlwind day, a new finance minister was in place, but Trudeau found himself under intense pressure from both within his own Liberal Party and the public calling for his resignation.
For the first time since his deputy prime minister's resignation, Trudeau made a public appearance, speaking at a Liberal holiday party Monday night.
"It has obviously been an eventful day," said the prime minister in his opening remarks. "It has not been an easy day... I wake up every single day thinking about how to make this nation work better for all Canadians."
Trudeau’s remarks on the events of the day were limited to calling it “not an easy day,” before shifting focus to criticize Conservative Leader Poilievre’s vision for the nation and highlight the accomplishments the Liberal Party has made during its nine years in power.
"I cannot emphasize enough just how damn proud I am of what we have done over the past nine years, and it's because of you," said the prime minister, as he looked around the room filled with Liberal cabinet members.
