The New Brunswick MP is the first Liberal caucus member to openly call for Trudeau’s resignation since Tuesday’s byelection upset in Toronto-St. Paul’s.
“For the future of our party and for the good of our country, we need new leadership and a new direction,” Long wrote in an email obtained by CBC News.
The Avalon MP, who has voted against his own party twice on the carbon tax, said it’s the prime minister’s decision to make alone, but stressed the need for an urgent, in-person caucus meeting with Trudeau.
According to sources who have seen the email chain, Kingston MP Mark Gerretsen asked members to stop hitting reply-all.
“I and my entire team have much more hard work to do to deliver tangible, real progress that Canadians can see and feel,” he said in a media statement this week.
In 2017, he was kicked off two parliamentary committees after he supported a failed Conservative motion related to proposed small business tax changes.
