The co-chair of the Conservative Party’s leadership organizing committee says the party will consider candidates’ comments – on social issues or otherwise – to assess whether they align with party principles.
Former deputy leader Lisa Raitt said there is a section requiring a declaration of personal views in the rules published by the Leadership Election Organizing Committee (LEOC) on Jan. 13.
“It says very clearly, that there’s going to be a questionnaire that you have to fill out. That questionnaire will be tested by a panel of LEOC who will then interview the potential candidate,” Raitt said in an interview on CTV’s Question Period airing Sunday.
