The Canadian Armed Forces sent a plane yesterday evening to pick up Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is stranded in India after the plane he arrived on was grounded because of technical issues.

A press secretary for the prime minister's office says Trudeau is expected to leave New Delhi Tuesday morning, local time.

Mohammad Hussain says they’ll keep the public updated as the situation remains fluid.

The lockdown in New Delhi lifted at midnight following the G20 leaders’ summit, but Trudeau and his Canadian delegation remain after his plane broke down.

The prime minister’s office says a component on the plane has to be replaced, with the problem being discovered during the pre-flight check as the Canadian delegation was waiting at the airport to board the flight.

The prime minister's office says Trudeau wants to be at the Liberal caucus retreat that starts Wednesday in London, Ont, with the Canadian Armed Forces doing their best to get the delegation back to Canada.

Conservative MPs deflect questions about Poilievre's comments on Trudeau, RCMP

Some Conservative MPs are deflecting questions about their leader’s comments on the RCMP, after the Liberals, Greens and NDP called for an apology. In a recent interview with a YouTube channel, Pierre Poilievre called the RCMP's leadership "despicable" and accused it of covering up for former prime minister Justin Trudeau. Poilievre claimed that Trudeau could have been charged criminally for accepting a vacation from the Aga Khan and said the former prime minister would be in jail if not for the RCMP.
