In his first press conference on the job, newly appointed Liberal economic growth task force chair Mark Carney said it’s “an honour” to serve in his new role, but wouldn’t say whether he plans to run for political office, or whether he’ll recommend changing the controversial carbon tax.
“I have some experience in these issues, and I'm interested in helping our country to grow,” he continued. “I'm interested in doing something, not being something, and this is a decisive time for our economy.” When pressed by reporters on whether he has political aspirations, Carney also said he’s “the catalyst in a much broader effort” when it comes to economic issues.
But Freeland maintained she felt she had the prime minister’s support, and when asked about Carney, said at the time she speaks with him “often,” noting he’s her son’s godfather. Carney is employed by the party. Barrett wants the Liberals give Carney an official government job, so he is subject to the disclosure rules, as politicians and public servants are.
