Former Liberal MP and businessman Frank Baylis is the first person out of the gate to confirm his candidacy for the leadership of the Liberal Party. His unofficial announcement came just hours after the resignation announcement of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Trudeau held a Jan. 6 press conference outside his official residence, Rideau Cottage, to announce he will step down as prime minister and Liberal leader after a replacement is chosen.
