TORONTO — Caucus members, a prominent businessman, a mayor and a federal MP are all mulling potential bids for leadership of Ontario's Liberal party, but none are in a rush to decide whether to enter the race. Ontario's Liberal caucus will return to the provincial legislature next month with eight members – one more seat than before the June vote but still not enough to earn official party status. Hsu said his experience serving as in the federal Liberal caucus after the 2011 election, when it was reduced to third-party status, will help him now. The pool of candidates shouldn't be limited to current caucus members or people with political experience, she added. A spokesman for the Ontario Liberal Party wrote in a statement that caucus members would ratify an interim leader chosen by caucus "in the coming weeks," with more details on the leadership to come after that.
