| | It was not until Wilfrid Laurier became leader that the Liberal Party emerged as a modern party. | | | It continues to be damaging to the party and serves as a threat to the Liberal's prospects of forming the government after the next federal election. | | | It is also worth noting that every successive Liberal Prime Minister has been a cabinet minister in the past Liberal leader's cabinet: Martin was in Jean Chrétien's cabinet, who was in John Turner's cabinet, who was in Pierre Trudeau's cabinet, etc. Conversely, the Progressive Conservatives often chose leaders without Cabinet experience. |
