Prime Minister Justin Trudeau makes an announcement outside Rideau Cottage in Ottawa on Monday, Jan.6, 2025.

The Liberal leadership race has officially begun, with six candidates on the roster to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. 

It's a short campaign, with members expected to elect their new leader on March 9 amid a potential trade war with the United States. Those interested in the top job have to pay an entry fee of $350,000.

Most cabinet ministers have chosen not to run, with many voicing concerns over the quick turnaround and timing in being prepared for a second Donald Trump presidency.

This is who's running to lead the Liberal Party of Canada.

Note: This list will be updated if there are changes throughout the campaign.
