Two Punjabi Liberal MPs from British Columbia have endorsed former banker Mark Carney as the next leader of the Liberal Party and the next prime minister of Canada. These MPs are Randeep Singh Sarai, the Liberal member of parliament for Surrey Centre, and Sukh Dhaliwal, MP for Surrey-Newton.

Sarai stated that Carney has the ability to rebuild the party, and his experience in various fields will help him address the current economic challenges. Dhaliwal also expressed that Carney's economic acumen will enable him to confront the challenges ahead and lead Canadians to a better future.

It is worth noting that Carney launched his campaign yesterday. In a statement, he said he is running to become the next leader of the Liberal Party so that, together, Canadians can build a better future.
