While one Conservative leadership candidate is calling on election organizers to release details about the upcoming official debate’s format, the party says decisions are being finalized in the next 24 hours.
The Ontario MP says the date for the upcoming bilingual debate was chosen despite her notifying the committee she was not available that day. Lewis’ letter doesn’t specifically state whether she will attend the debate, but said she isn’t sure she can justify missing the opportunity to meet with Canadians directly to attend “an impromptu meeting with leadership candidates” and answer questions for which the answers already exist online.
“We have confidence that it will be a good debate that allows Canadians to evaluate the candidates’ positions,” he added. “As it is an official debate, it is considered mandatory. Beyond that, we understand that passions can sometimes run high at such times, and appreciate that each campaign will make its own decisions.”
