Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney has received endorsements from four more current and former cabinet ministers, including Patty Hajdu, Gary Anandasangaree, Sean Fraser, and Steven Guilbeault. Guilbeault highlighted Carney's expertise on climate change and green energy, while also discussing Carney's stance on carbon pricing.
OTTAWA — Liberal leadership hopeful Mark Carney has secured the endorsements of four more current and former cabinet ministers.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault also endorsed Carney while speaking to reporters at the Liberal cabinet retreat in Montebello, Que. While Carney hasn't said explicitly he'd drop consumer carbon pricing if he wins the leadership, he has hinted at a policy shift by saying that if the carbon price is going to go, it must be replaced “with something that is at least, if not more, effective.”"If we don't move ahead with consumer carbon pricing, one obvious answer would be to tighten a system that we already have ... for large polluters in the country," Guilbeault said.
Carney secured the support of Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly and Emergency Preparedness Minister Harjit Sajjan earlier this week.
