Shortly after the Progressive Conservative party under Joe Clark won a minority government in the 1979 federal election in Canada, Pierre Trudeau announced his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party.

When the Clark government fell in December of that year, Trudeau rescinded his resignation and stayed on as leader, winning the 1980 election which followed. He stepped down for good in 1984.
