The race for the Liberal Party leadership, which will determine Canada’s next prime minister, now features six candidates. After Chandra Arya was dropped from the contest, the party cleared former central banker Mark Carney, former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, Nova Scotia MP Jamie Batiste, former government House leader Karina Gould, former Brampton MP Ruby Dhalla, and former Montreal Liberal MP Frank Baylis.
These candidates are awaiting approval from Elections Canada to officially enter the race.
Ruby Dhalla, the only Indian-origin candidate, has announced her intention to deport illegal immigrants and crack down on human trafficking if she becomes prime minister. Her stance has drawn significant attention in the leadership race.
