NDP Leader Tom Mulcair was seen in a heartwarming mood after a party retreat in Montreal that began with questions regarding whether or not should he stay as the head of the party until members choose his permanent replacement in October 2017. Mulcair pointed out that “in a world that can be a bit cold, it is very heartwarming to have the unanimous support of your colleagues.”
Earlier NDP MPs were considering to remove Mulcair from the interim position also since the party fundraising fell behind and the poll numbers were reduced. However, Mulcair emerged with a good support and explained that “when you go through a week where people are saying all sorts of things — supposedly anonymous sources — you’re sorting of going, OK, what’s this about?” He also added that “then you get into caucus and you get the unanimous support of your colleagues and you can do exactly what you set out to do. I had offered to take on this job in a very tough situation.”
In his remarks, Mulcair clarified that he only considers himself as a caretaker leader and his primary role is just to keep the NDP’s finances and organization in good order for his successor. Speaking on the topic of Mr. Trudeau’s government, Mulcair alleged that “we think Mr. Trudeau’s still got a lot of answers to give to Canadians. They master style, but we’re going to be talking a lot about substance as well and that’s what caucus has asked me to do.”
