The campaigns for Chrystia Freeland, Frank Baylis and Karina Gould all confirm they have already made their final payment.

Ruby Dhalla tweeted Sunday evening that she has delivered her last payment to the party.

But Elections Canada is expected to soon reveal the first batch of fundraising numbers from all the leadership hopefuls.
