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.
