Liberals will choose their next leader — and Canada’s next prime minister — on March 9th.
After a frenzy of formal and informal meetings this week following Justin Trudeau’s decision to step down as prime minister, the Liberal Party’s national council decided on the date last night.
Sources say the party is also setting the entry fee for potential candidates at $350,000 — a significant jump from the $75,000 fee set by the party for the previous leadership race.
Candidates have until January 23rd to declare their intention to run.
