‘While traditionally we’d like to have these debates in different parts of the country, the ongoing uncertainty around COVID-19 makes this the most sensible way ‘

OTTAWA — The first debates of the Conservative leadership race will be held June 17 and 18 in Toronto after being delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Four candidates have qualified to take part: Erin O’Toole, Peter MacKay, Leslyn Lewis and Derek Sloan. It is highly unusual that the race has gone this far without a debate, as membership sales for voters were cut off on May 15. But debates that had been planned earlier this spring by the party and other organizations such as the Manning Centre had to be cancelled due to the pandemic.

The party says it will be taking measures “to ensure social distancing is respected among candidates and technical personnel — this includes keeping candidates separate and limiting staff that are present.”
