Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly will endorse Mark Carney in the race for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada, Radio-Canada has learned.
Joly will make the announcement in a written statement on Sunday, according to a source with knowledge of the decision who spoke to Radio-Canada.
This development comes on the same day that former finance minister Chrystia Freeland will deliver the first speech of her campaign to become Liberal leader. Her official campaign launch is scheduled for mid-day at an event in her Toronto riding.
