In an official press release on Monday, the party says Carney will serve as the chair of a leader’s task force on economic growth.“As chair of the leader’s task force on economic growth, Mark’s unique ideas and perspectives will play a vital role in shaping the next steps in our plan to continue to grow our economy and strengthen the middle class, and to urgently seize new opportunities for Canadian jobs and prosperity in a fast-changing world,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement.
The former central bank governor — who now works as the head of transition investing for Brookfield Asset Management, and as a United Nations special envoy on climate action and finance — has fielded rumours for years that he's after Trudeau's job. By 2009, while lauding Canada for how well it weathered the prior year's financial crisis compared to other countries, Carney pushed for others to follow suit, and called for widespread reforms to the world's financial system.During his tenure as Canada's central banker, Carney also took on several high-profile appointments, including chair of the Committee on the Global Financial System, and head of the Financial Stability Board for the G20.
April 2021 marked Carney's official coming out as a card-carrying Liberal, delivering a keynote speech praising many of the party's policies, and ratcheting up the speculation he was considering getting his name on a ballot.
