Final debate for B.C. Conservative leadership hopefuls
- Five B.C. Conservative leadership candidates—Iain Black, Caroline Elliott, Kerry-Lynne Findlay, Peter Milobar, and Yuri Fulmer—faced off in their final debate at a Global studio in Burnaby today.
- Former leader John Rustad resigned in December, with Trevor Halford serving as interim leader; the campaign has since been dominated by intense ideological disputes among the candidates.
- All five candidates agree on repealing the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act and using tax cuts to stimulate the provincial economy, despite earlier disagreements over diversity and education.
- CBC reporter Janella Hamilton noted the debate featured several feisty exchanges, highlighting the sharp ideological differences that have defined the leadership race throughout the campaign.
- The Conservatives began sending ballots to more than 42,000 party members today, with the leadership winner to be declared at a convention on May 30.
