Trudeau meeting with Holt in N.B. today
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Susan Holt are meeting at Chancery Place in Fredericton.
First meeting since Holt became premier
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is meeting with newly elected Premier Susan Holt in Fredericton on Tuesday.
CBC livestreamed the event early in the afternoon.
Trudeau meets with Holt, whose provincial Liberal Party had a huge victory in October, in the midst of tension within the federal party and calls by some caucus members for him to step aside.
He recently praised Holt for her party's move to repeal a ban on funding abortions performed outside of hospitals.
"Right on, Premier," he posted on X. "Abortion is healthcare — and women should be covered no matter what service they choose or where they live."
