The liberal leadership race is heating up with two more major candidates announcing their campaigns over the weekend. Former finance minister Chris Jeffreeland and government house leader Karina Gould are now officially running. Andrew Perez is a liberal strategist. The nature of the race has changed considerably just in the last week. So many senior ministers that we thought would run have now all bowed out. And so what we have is essentially a three-person race. I would describe Karina Gould as the dark horse. And the two main contenders are Ms Miss Freeland and Mr. Carney. Candidates have until this Thursday to formally announce their campaign. So far six candidates have joined the race or said they want to run.

Though it's not clear if all the candidates have raised enough money to pay the entrance fee. A woman in Yellowknife says she was asked to repay a child care bursary she received nearly 30 years ago. Back then, she was a single parent studying nursing in Ontario. She was told the province didn't get receipts proving she used the money appropriately. Ethel Musa has more. It was $1,245, which 30 years ago was a lot of money. Jennifer Craft says a child care bursary from Ontario's Ministry of Colleges and Universities

was critical in helping her attend college as a single mother with a two and a half year old daughter. I don't think I could have been in nursing school without that option. Craft is now a grandmother, but she was recently contacted by a creditor asking for that bursary money back because it says she failed to provide daycare receipts decades ago. Well, I don't even keep tax documents longer than eight years. How am I going to find 30-year-old child care bursary receipts? Kraft says she submitted the original receipts and her daughter's daycare no longer exists,

leading her to wonder... What's the statute of limitations? In an email statement, the ministry says there is no limitation period when it comes to the collection of debts owed to the Crown. Ivelmouzsa CBC News Toronto. A dramatic rescue tonight on Lake Ontario the Toronto Fire Department was called to the scene of Ashbridges Bay in Toronto after a vehicle plunged into the water. Don Barrett is the South Command platoon chief. We donned our ice water rescue gear and sent a crew into the

water they removed one person from the vehicle that person was transferred to Toronto paramedics and currently en route to hospital condition unknown at this time. It's not clear how or why the vehicle got into the water. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Herland.
