Marc Garneau dropping out of Liberal leadership race

MP Marc Garneau is dropping out of the race to lead the federal Liberals and will support his MP colleague Justin Trudeau, CBC News has learned.

The former astronaut and MP for Montreal's Westmount-Ville-Marie riding will make the announcement at 11 a.m. ET in Ottawa.

Thursday is the last day for supporters to register to vote. By Monday night, less than a third of those signed up with the party had registered to vote in the leadership contest.

Trudeau's campaign team wrote the Liberal Party Monday to ask it to extend the deadline for supporters to register to vote. Several other campaigns, including Garneau's, yesterday said they supported the move.

The results will be announced in Ottawa on April 14. Voting will take place April 7-14.

Garneau was first elected in 2008.
