Liberal MPs meet in Ottawa to plan leadership race after Trudeau's resignation

Liberal MPs are meeting in Ottawa for the first time since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation. The focus has shifted from discussing his refusal to resign to planning the next steps in the leadership race. The meeting will include discussions on finding a new leader to compete against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. Several cabinet ministers are considering leadership bids, while others are gauging support from party members. The national party board will form a committee to organize the leadership vote and establish rules for the race. This process may take several days to complete.
