OTTAWA — Some Liberal MPs are pressing Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc to change his mind and run for the party leadership.
MP Yasir Naqvi said"a lot of effort" is being put into convincing LeBlanc to run. His caucus colleague Francesco Sorbara said he personally told LeBlanc on Wednesday he should join the race because he would be a strong candidate. LeBlanc told reporters ahead of the meeting he was genuinely touched that caucus colleagues encouraged him to seek the leadership.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said that as she considers whether to launch a leadership bid of her own, she's also asking herself whether she can leave cabinet at a critical time for Canada's foreign policy. Potential high-profile leadership aspirants include former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, former central banker Mark Carney and former B.C. premier Christy Clark. None of them have officially declared they intend to run.
