OTTAWA — Disgruntled Liberal MPs will finally get a chance to express their ire on Wednesday as the party’s caucus meets for the first time since a new effort to oust Prime Minister Justin Trudeau broke into public view.

Liberal MP Sean Casey was the first to publicly confirm that he signed the letter and at least one other MP told the National Post they added their signature and that theirs was spilling onto a second page.
