The former Bank of Canada governor issued a statement Monday evening saying he is encouraged by support he has heard, and that he’s considering his decision with family over the next few days.

Former Montreal MP Frank Baylis declared his intent to enter the race in an interview Monday with The Hill Times.

Parliament is prorogued until March 24, but leaders of the main opposition parties say they will bring down the government at the earliest opportunity.

That means Canadians will likely head to the polls this spring.
