Trudeau will stay as prime minister for transition, but the timeline is up to his successor – National Post
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his last day in office will depend on how long of a transition his successor needs. Trudeau announced on Jan. 6 he would resign once the Liberal leadership race concludes, which will happen on Sunday.
“That will be up to a conversation between the new leader and myself,” he told reporters Tuesday, after addressing the trade war triggered earlier that morning with the U.S. “It should happen reasonably quickly, but there’s a lot of things to do in a transition like this, particularly at this complicated time in the world.”
