Staffers in the Prime Minister's Office will meet Monday, and CTV News spoke to two who expect the prime minister and his chief of staff will convey they do not see a path forward in the absence of support from caucus.
A majority of the Ontario, Atlantic, Quebec and B.C. caucuses determined over the Christmas break that they want Justin Trudeau to step aside, and a national, daylong caucus to discuss that fact and next steps has been set for Wednesday.
Sources tell CTV News that if Trudeau does announce his resignation, it will be from the helm of the Liberal party, and the aim would be to stay on as prime minister until a new leader is chosen.
Both sources cautioned the ability to do so is not by any means clear, and what happens next is subject to change as a result.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
