A Liberal MP says he would support former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland should she choose to pursue the leadership of the Liberal Party.

The statement by Liberal MP Sean Casey comes a day after Freeland’s Dec. 16 resignation, a move that caused significant turmoil within the government, just prior to the presentation of the Fall Economic Statement.
