The Liberal Party of Canada has heeded the call from many of its MPs to strengthen security around the upcoming vote to replace Justin Trudeau as prime minister and party leader.

The party announced the rules for the contest on Jan. 9 and at the same time updated the requirements around who can become a registered Liberal to vote to chose the new leader.
