The Progressive Labour Party has sent its congratulations to Canada’s new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Canada’s Liberal Party won the country’s General Election last week ending nearly a decade of Conservative rule.

The centrist Liberals, led by Mr Trudeau started the campaign in third place but in a remarkable turnaround now command a majority.

A PLP statement released today stated: “The Progressive Labour Party would like to send warm Congratulations to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the recent Canadian Election victory.

“We send our best wishes as you and your Party begin the work ahead for your country of Canada. Bermuda and Canada have historically enjoyed a positive relationship and we look forward to the continuation of this.”
