The former leader of the House of Representatives, Karina Gould, says she raised the required $ 125,000 required by liberal leadership candidates before the deadline of Friday, which allows her to remain in the race.
In a publication about X, Gould thanked his followers.
“I can officially report that, after another record yesterday, we arrive at the deadline of today’s fees,” he wrote.
To compete to become the next liberal leader, and for the next Prime Minister of Extension Canada, candidates must pay $ 350,000, made in installments. A considerable sum, $ 125,000, is due to 5 pm on Friday.
Two initial payments of $ 50,000 served to launch candidate campaigns and then obtain access to the list of party members. The final delivery of $ 125,000 expires on February 17.
Gould said Thursday that he was “safe” that his campaign would comply with the imminent deadline, but said the “very high” entry set by the party had consequences.
“That means there are a number of potential candidates that may have executed that they did not, and there is a couple who has already retired for that,” he told CBC’s Power and politics Host David Cochrane.
During an earlier press conference on Thursday, the deputy of Burlington, Ontario, shouted “the establishment of parties” to keep people out of the race.
She said that 85 percent of her donations cost $ 200 or less, which she interprets as the support of everyday Canadians.
Liberal leadership candidate Karina Gould says that the “deadline for collection of extremely aggressive funds” is part of the efforts of the party to keep people out of the race. Power & Politics listens to Gould and his partner hopeful leadership Frank Baylis about efforts to meet the deadline for collection of Fridays of $ 125,000.
Four other candidates approved by the party say they are still in the race to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Montreal businessman Frank Baylis told Cochrane on Thursday that he is on the way to meet the deadline of February 7 “no problem.”
A spokesman for former central banker Mark Carney confirmed Friday that he had paid the fee.
Chrystia Freeland campaign said Wednesday that former Vice Prime Minister had paid the rate.
A spokesman for Ruby Dhalla, former deputy of Brampton-Springdale, confirmed Friday that he deposited the payment.
The Liberal Party will choose its next leader, and the next Prime Minister of Canada, on March 9.
