What’s next for Justin Trudeau and the Liberals?

Boom or bust?

Is Justin Trudeau going to follow in the footsteps of his father?

Or will he become a footnote in history like other promised Liberal 'saviours' such as Turner, Martin and Ignatieff?

It's probably to soon to tell, but you can bet that Team Trudeau has a plan in place to avoid the latter.

Here's what that plan might entail:

1. Get Trudeau out of the 'Ottawa bubble'

Much will be made about Trudeau's first question as leader during question period in the House of Commons on Monday.

But that's not where Trudeau will make hey. As the leader of the third party, he's not going to garner a lot of attention in Parliament.

As explained by the Globe and Mail, Trudeau's team plans to have him crisscrossing the country to engage Canadians directly, energize local riding associations and continue fundraising.

His 'celebrity status' is his strength and the Liberals need to take advantage of that.

2. Define the party:

The Liberal leadership campaign has been almost devoid of policy but Trudeau can't win a general election without talking about specifics.

One of the most prevalent three word phrases on the convention floor, Sunday, was "listen to Canadians."

"We have 2 years and a half and every week, every month every day will be very key," former leader Stephane Dion told Yahoo! Canada News.

"We have to go and...listen to Canadians, to clarify our platform."

Expect Liberals to fan out across the country over the next year and 'listen to Canadians' to develop a policy vision.

The party will have another convention in 2014 where they'll start putting together their platform for the next election.

3. Rebuild support in Quebec

The party clearly needs to beef-up it's riding associations across the country.

Expect them to spend a lot of time and resources, however, in Quebec where they need to displace the NDP as the federalist choice if they have any hope of forming government in 2015.

Despite positive polling numbers in La Belle Provence, the party has a lot of work to do. According to the National Post, fewer than 15,000 of the 127,000 registered voters for the Liberal leadership race were Quebec — compared to 60,000 from Ontario.

4. Build a team for 2015

Over the next few days and weeks, we'll see Trudeau shuffle his front benches in Parliament and bring in new staff for the leader's office.

What he does behind the scenes, however, is going to be the key for 2015.

The Trudeau campaign has assembled more than 11,000 volunteers. They'll want to keep these volunteers engaged over the next two years to hold events, be active on social media, collect names and develop lists.

Also over the next two years, expect Trudeau to court star candidates for the 2015 election — candidates such as former Ontario Liberal cabinet ministers Dwight Duncan and Sandra Pupatello, who were both Trudeau supporters.
