特鲁多宣布将辞去自由党领袖与总理职务：待党选出新领袖后离任
2025年1月6日，加拿大总理特鲁多（Justin Trudeau）在首都渥太华 Rideau Cottage 官邸外宣布，他将在自由党选出下一任领袖之后，辞去自由党领袖和总理职务。特鲁多说：「我打算在党通过健全的、全国性的竞争程序选出下一任领袖之后，辞去党领袖和总理职务。」
特鲁多表示，他已在前一天晚上请自由党主席启动遴选程序。他说：「这个国家在下一次选举中值得一个真正的选择，如果我还要打内部仗，我就不可能成为那次选举的最佳人选。」
国会方面，特鲁多表示他已建议总督新开国会会期，总督已经批准，国会将休会至3月24日。在新领袖产生之前，特鲁多继续留任总理。
特鲁多自2015年起执政近十年。2024年12月16日，财政部长弗里兰（Chrystia Freeland）突然辞职，此后自由党内要求特鲁多下台的声浪升高，多名党内人士公开呼吁他让位。
Trudeau Announces He Will Resign as Liberal Leader and Prime Minister Once the Party Chooses a Successor
On January 6, 2025, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced outside Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, the capital, that he would resign as leader of the Liberal Party and as prime minister once the party had chosen its next leader. "I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide competitive process," Trudeau said.
Trudeau said he had asked the president of the Liberal Party the previous evening to begin that selection process. "This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and if I'm having to fight internal battles, I just cannot be the best option in that election," he said.
He also said he had advised the Governor General that Parliament needed to be prorogued, and that the Governor General had agreed; Parliament would be prorogued until March 24. Trudeau would remain prime minister until a new leader was chosen.
Trudeau had been in power for nearly a decade, since 2015. Calls within the Liberal Party for him to step aside had grown after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned abruptly on December 16, 2024, with a number of Liberals publicly urging him to make way.
