Who are the top candidates in the Liberal leadership race?

The Liberal party will announce its new leader on March 9 and will restrict voting eligibility to citizens and permanent residents as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plans to step down. The party’s national board of directors met Thursday evening to decide on the initial rules of the Liberal leadership contest that will choose Trudeau’s successor. According to a press release from the Liberal party, the voting will conclude on March 9 and the new leader will be announced on the same day. Party members have until Jan. 23 to enter their name in the leadership race. The entry fee is $350,000. Mark Carney is expected to launch his campaign next week — and experts are calling him one of the top candidates.
