Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to step down as the leader of the Liberal Party, according to sources who told The Globe and Mail.
His resignation could come as early as Monday morning, with Trudeau holding a press conference at Rideau Cottage at 10:45 ET. It is unclear if Trudeau would leave immediately or if he plans to stay on as Canada's prime minister until a new Liberal leader is selected.
According to The Globe, the Liberal Party national executive plans to meet next week, likely after Wednesday's national caucus session, where they will make their leadership decision. The Liberals can either appoint an interim leader or hold a shortened leadership contest.
