OTTAWA — It was the week the Conservatives finally called on Bill Morneau to resign — to no avail. But despite the frayed nerves and the minister’s hoarse voice, the Liberals stood their ground, with the prime minister repeatedly declaring his confidence in Morneau. Whether that tense stalemate lasts into next week while Justin Trudeau is out of the country in China is another question. And some Conservative MPs have criticized Trudeau for taking the apology too far by supporting children discovering their sexual orientation at a young age. And unions are ratcheting up the pressure on the federal government to act on some of the recommendations on Joly’s desk.
