Under Lester Pearson, the party slowly rebuilt its electoral base, although for much of his tenure as prime minister in the 1960s he headed a minority government.
Bilingualism, constitutional questions, and the status of Quebec dominated the tenure of Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who was succeeded briefly as prime minister by John Turner in 1984.
Turner remained leader of the Liberal party until 1990, when he was briefly replaced by Herb Grey; later that year Jean ChrEtien became Liberal party leader.

He contributed to several newspapers and was chief editor (1865-68) of "Le Pays", the principal organ of the French-Canadian Liberal party at the time, a paper the attitude of which in politico-religious questions, notably the so-called undue influence of the clergy in politics, was frequently at variance with the views of ecclesiastical authority.
He was an ardent patriot and a thorough student of the French tongue, ever zealous by his criticism and by his example to preserve its purity.
