Trudeau said he has a responsibility to put forward a robust platform for the next election in 2015, and he's not going to cut the policy development process short just because people may be getting "impatient." Liberals want to provide a good government for Canadians and aren't worried about dominating headlines, he said. They are going to take their time developing policies in preparation for the next election, said Trudeau.

Expenses will be online

Party members also spent part of their day talking about the commitment Trudeau made in the spring for the hospitality and travel expenses of Liberal MPs and senators to be posted online. He said that will start in late September and they'll use the model followed by cabinet ministers.

"I think Canadians demand a level of transparency from their governments and from their political parties that the Liberal Party is happy to step up to, and happy to take the lead on," Trudeau said.

"I know that the other parties will not take long to realize that they cannot operate in secrecy anymore from Canadians."

1. He's attacking Harper square on his issues. I like Trudeau. He's got a good team and

that is what it takes to become the 'ship of state'.
