The former minister says his leadership will renew the decimated party.
"They taught me and my siblings to never give up and to keep going until the job is done," he said."This is the approach that we need to renew the Ontario Liberal Party, to stop Doug Ford and to get our province back on track in 2022."
"I'm in because I want my kids to grow up in a province where everyone has a fair shot to be their best, where our economy grows because we focus on dignity for workers while supporting entrepreneurship and celebrating success," he said. Interim party leader John Fraser has said details surrounding the leadership race will likely be finalized at the Liberal's annual general meeting in June.
