as you i am as youiama as you i am a fighter. my body has always told me to fight because i care deeply about canadians, about this country, i will motivated by what is in the best interest of canadians. the effect is despite best efforts to work through it parliament has been paralysed

for months after what has been the longest session of parliament including history. that's why this morning i advise the governor general that we need a new session of parliament. she has granted this request and the house will now be prorogued until march 24. over the holidays, now be prorogued until march 24. overthe holidays, i now be prorogued until march 24. over the holidays, i have also had a chance to reflect and long talks with my family about our future. throughout the course of my career, any success i have personally achieved has been because of their support and with their encouragement. last night over dinner, i told encouragement. last night over dinner, itold my encouragement. last night over dinner, i told my kids about the decision that i'm sharing with you today. i intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through

a robust, nationwide, competitive process. last night i asked the president of the liberal party to begin that process. this country deserves a real choice in the next election and it is becoming clear to me that if i i'm having to fight internal battles i cannot be the best option in that election. so, justin trudeau alternating, as i mentioned a moment ago, between english and french in this news conference and he has just there in the last few seconds he will step down after the party selects a new leader. he said despite his best efforts to work through the issues in parliament, it has been paralysed for months now and he said we need a new session of parliament. he said

he told his family last night what he is revealing at this news conference was not that he will step down after his party selects a new leader. that statement reflecting the huge political difficulty that he has had for quite a number of months now. under pressure to resign and now for months now including from members of his own liberal party. in the polls at the moment they have lost a lot of ground and the conservatives are doing much better than the liberals. we will be talking in a few moments to a canadian pollster who can tell us more about what is being signalled or indicated in the polls. the general election has to happen by october, next year, laterthis year, i beg your pardon. but could potentially happen sooner. let's see. let's turn out to ottawa and at that press conference because i think justin trudeau will be speaking

in english again in a moment. speaks in french. so justin sojustin trudeau has been in office for nine years, of course, his father pierre trudeau was also canadian prime

minister butjustin trudeau really has made his murk in terms of world politics, been very vocal on a number of issues —— made his mark. he mentioned ukraine, of course, and climate change. and now he is speaking in english, let's return to that. fix, is speaking in english, let's return to that.— is speaking in english, let's return to that. a new prime minister — return to that. a new prime minister and _ return to that. a new prime minister and leader - return to that. a new prime minister and leader of - return to that. a new prime minister and leader of the l minister and leader of the liberal party will carry its values and ideals into that next election. i am excited to see the process unfold in the months ahead. we were elected for the third time in 2021 to strengthen the economy for the post—pandemic and advanced canada's interests in a complicated world and that is exactly the job that i and we will continue to do for canadians. merci beaucoup, mes amis. ., ~ canadians. merci beaucoup, mes amis. . ,, amis. thank you, prime minister. _ amis. thank you, prime minister, we _ amis. thank you, prime

last month. as she when she talked about policy disagreements. so that was the most public, if you like a signal of the discontent within the liberal party, of the way thatjustin trudeau was handling things after months of pressure, and more than 20 fellow members of his party were in fact now publicly urging him to go. so he said that he was making best efforts to work his way through it but it was clear that parliament was paralysed and that therefore it would not be in therefore it would not be in the best interests of canadians, for him to stay in position. he will of course, until a new leader of the party has been chosen. but he is announcing his intention to step down as the canadian prime minister. and, nada, do we have any idea at this stage how quickly that election might happen? quickly that election might ha en? quickly that election might hauen? g , .,

would think of, but i do wish that we had been able to change the way we elect our governments in this country so that people could simply choose a second choice or a third choice on the same ballad. so that parties would spend more time trying to be people's second or third choices. and people would have been looking for things they have in common instead of trying to polarise and divide canadians against each other. i think in this time, figuring out how to pull together and find common ground remains something that is really important for democracies. but i could not change unilaterally without support of other parties our electoral system. that would not have been responsible. find not have been responsible. and nada tawfik, — not have been responsible. and nada tawfik, our— not have been responsible. and nada tawfik, our north america correspondent, still with me. and the timing of this really... hang on, let me bring you back to ottawa because i
