Within the next week, former finance minister Chrystia Freeland will announce her intention to run for the Liberal party leadership.
A source close to her campaign team says the announcement will come just before the U-S presidential inauguration of Donald Trump.
Another source says Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne plans to reveal whether he will run during a talk today at the Canadian Club in Toronto.
Ontario M-P Chandra Arya and former Montreal M-P Frank Baylis are the only two to officially join the contest.
