As finance minister, Freeland hiked the capital gains tax inclusion rate in the federal budget less than a year ago, increasing the share of capital gains on which individuals or corporations have to pay tax. At the time, she said it was a matter of "tax fairness" to ask wealthier people and corporations to pay a bit more to help the government pay for essential investments in things like health care and child care.

On Tuesday, Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu, Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Minister Gary Anandasangaree and former housing minister Sean Fraser all threw their support behind Carney on social media.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has pitched the upcoming election as almost a referendum on carbon pricing and the Conservative Party has launched ads attacking Liberal leadership contenders for defending the policy.

Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland will announce her intention to run for the Liberal party leadership just before the U.S. presidential inauguration, a source close to her campaign team said on Monday.

Potential candidates have just two weeks to decide to run and potential voters less than three weeks to join the party in order to vote.

Members of Parliament are set to vote on a government bill asking for billions in funding as the clock ticks down on a deadline.

The government has been unable to put any of its own business before the House of Commons for a full week, and the Conservatives on Thursday said that's the result of Liberal "corruption."

The Canadian Press independently verified from several stock images sites, including Getty Images, that the video originated from Russia.

In a classified interview with the commission of inquiry in February, Trudeau said leaks suggesting otherwise were extremely damaging to Canadians' confidence in the democratic process.
