TORONTO (AP) — Some lawmakers in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s own Liberal Party have asked the leader not to run for a fourth term Wednesday, handing him one of the biggest tests of his political career.

Three Liberals said they were among a total of 20 plus lawmakers from the party to have signed a letter asking Trudeau to step down before the next election. There are 153 Liberals in Canada’s House of Commons. “He has to start listening, listening to the people,” said Ken McDonald, a Liberal Member of Parliament from Newfoundland.
