PM urges Liberals to focus on goals of climate change, growing middle-class
SAGUENAY, Que. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cautioned his Liberal MPs on Thursday to resist resting on their laurels now that they have formed government, and to avoid becoming too distracted by the daily ups and downs of life in politics.
“We should be proud of what we’ve accomplished, but never satisfied,” Trudeau told the national Liberal caucus, which gathered in Saguenay, Que., to hammer out the legislative and political agenda before returning to Parliament Hill next month.
“I know that it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, but let’s never forget why we are all here in this room — to help the middle class and those working hard to join it.”
The prime minister said that vision applies not just for the rest of the year, nor even the rest of the majority Liberal mandate before the 2019 election, but for generations to come.
