Leader of the Opposition Andrew Scheer announces he will step down as leader of the Conservatives, Thursday December 12, 2019 in the House of Commons in Ottawa. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian WyldOTTAWA -- Outgoing Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has received former Tory cabinet minister John Baird’s postmortem on the party’s unsuccessful federal election campaign, but it will not be made public.
Scheer tweeted Tuesday that he was “looking forward to reviewing it and sharing the feedback” with his coming replacement, but according to the leader's office, Baird’s findings will be kept internal. “This is a strategy document prepared for the Leader of the Party. Political parties do not make internal strategy documents public,” said acting director of communications Simon Jefferies in an email to CTV News.
Baird's external review into the potential shortcomings of the Conservative campaign began in the weeks following the Oct. 21 vote, after dissatisfaction began bubbling up among Conservatives about Scheer’s performance and the party’s electoral strategy and internal numbers. Scheer, who announced mid last month that he is resigning as leader as soon as a replacement is named, had asked Baird to report back on his findings as soon as possible, given the reality of minority parliaments.
The next Conservative leader is scheduled to be elected in Toronto in June. The formal leadership race process opened up Monday.
Cowards and cheats
Of course it won't. Don't want CON supporters to know what's going on in their party!
It's okay. We all had a front row seat to your campaign and how spectacularly shitty it was. Don't need Baird's 'analysis'. cdnpoli
i *hope* Baird was paid with PC campaign funds. 'cause if the public paid for that report...
Will the Liberals or NDP reports be made public?
Of course it will be kept quiet. Sheer is the big reason why their lost and he is not going to let the world know the truth.
Well that seems completely contrary to the CPC's policy of openness, honesty, and humility. - Said no one, ever. CPC cdnpoli
