Philpott's resignation was the second high-profile departure from Trudeau's cabinet since this story first broke in the Globe and Mail. CBC News reached out to the remaining 33 members of cabinet, who all said they support the prime minister. "That's the part I don't think the prime minister or his office has yet shown their party." Former Liberal cabinet minister Sheila Copps said while Wilson-Raybould and Philpott had policy experience, they lacked political experience. The prime minister, Copps said, needs to "surround himself with some wizened political people who can staunch the bleeding."
