Federal Transport and Internal Trade Minister Anita Anand says she will not run for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada.
Anand broke the news on social media, also saying she will not seek re-election as an MP in her riding in Oakville, Ont., a seat she has held since 2019. Anand has previously served as Public Services and Procurement minister, National Defence minister and Treasury Board president. Before holding public office, Anand was a law professor for more than 20 years and she says that following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's decision to step down she has decided to return to teaching, research and public policy analysis.
Anand says it has been an honour to serve her constituents and that she will continue to fulfil her duties until the next election. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly and Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc have also said they will not seek the Liberal leadership.
