MONTREAL – Liberal stalwart Denis Coderre has resigned as the party’s Quebec lieutenant and defence critic.
He says he will remain a member of Parliament but no longer believes he has the confidence of his leader, Michael Ignatieff. Coderre has expressed support for the leader, but fired a shot in Ignatieff’s direction at a news conference in Montreal this morning.
He says events of recent days send a message that the Liberal Party of Canada is run by Toronto advisers – not by party members close to the grassroots.
