He's not going to lead on this. He's not that kind of politician, and he doesn't see that as his job. But he's not going to fight it, and that's important.
No political leader, exclusive of labour leaders, lead on this in Canada either. Some fought it, even after it was pointless to do so, some fought it, then supported it, some supported it without leading on it. But it's done, and it's not going to be undone.

Politics is mostly legwork, and stubborness.
