Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to make a major announcement regarding his political future this morning, according to a number of reports.

While it is currently unclear if Trudeau will be stepping down as prime minister today, reports suggest the PM will be resigning as Liberal leader.

According to CTV News journalist Rachel Aiello, Trudeau met with Governor General Mary Simon earlier today and asked for the prorogation of Parliament until March 24.

The prime minister's press conference is set for 10:45am EST, where all eyes will be on Trudeau to see whether the faltering PM will step down or continue clinging onto power.

Multiple reports suggest Trudeau is currently unwilling to step down as PM despite trailing Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre by a significant margin in the polls.
