TORONTO: The process to select the successor of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will commence this week, but that person will face the twin challenges of a severely tarnished Liberal Party brand as well as the prospect of facing a confidence vote almost immediately into their tenure.
Following Trudeau's announcement on Monday morning in Ottawa that he intends to resign as PM once the next Liberal leader is elected, the party's president Sachit Mehra, in a statement, said its National Board will meet "later this week" and "begin the nationwide democratic process of selecting a new leader".
Parliament has been prorogued till March 24 and that will provide the party with two-and-a-half months to complete the process.
