"My brothers and I have shared our dad with you for the past 12 years. Now, we are taking him back," Trudeau's daughter said.
"But before we do, I guess you can have him one last time. Please welcome your prime minister, my dad Justin Trudeau," she made the announcement.
Trudeau began his address by asking,“You know as I look out across this room I have just one question, How’s the Liberal Party doing tonight?"
He said that Canada is facing an “existential challenge" from the United States.
“For these past years… past 10 years, there have been challenges, crisis after crisis have been thrown at Canadians," he said in his speech. “But through every crisis, Canadians have shown who they are," he added.
“We’ve pulled together, we’ve stood up for each other and every single time, we’ve emerged even stronger," Trudeau said.
“And now, as Canadians face, from our neighbour, an existential challenge, an economic crisis, Canadians are showing exactly what we are made of… by proudly embracing who we are," Trudeau was seen telling the party loyalists present in the event.
“We’re a country where we have always defended a woman’s right to chose, and we’re a country that will be diplomatic when we can, but fight when we must elbows up," he was further heard saying.
