OTTAWA (Reuters) - One of four Canadian cabinet members who are stepping down said on Friday that he has confidence in Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and he played down polls predicting the Liberals will badly lose in the next election.
Northern Affairs Minister Dan Vandal said he wanted a break after 30 years in politics. He and three other second-tier ministers in the 38-member cabinet will soon leave their posts after announcing they would not run again for office.
