The deadline for Liberal leadership contestants to file their registration papers has passed — meaning no other challengers can enter the race. The field currently consists of former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, former House leader Karina Gould, Liberal MPs Jaime Battiste and Chandra Arya, and former Liberal MPs Frank Baylis and Ruby Dhalla. The new leader to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be announced March 9. (Jan. 24, 2025)
