The four candidates for the Liberal Party leadership sparred during four hours of debate, first in French Monday and in English Tuesday, to argue why they’re the best option to lead the party and the country. Here are five takeaways from the exchanges between former central bank governor Mark Carney, former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, former House leader Karina Gould and businessman and former MP Frank Baylis.
Mr. Baylis did not commit to a target, saying, “I don’t think that’s doable in an intelligent way.” He called, however, for better pay and benefits for the military and more investments in research and development.With three of the four candidates expressing unmitigated support for building new pipelines and dropping carbon pricing, the Liberal Party appears poised to embrace the expansion of fossil fuel exploitation and scale backMs.
She was non-committal on pipelines, simply saying that Canadians need to “have a conversation” about energy security.The candidates’ differing levels of fluency in French underpinned Monday night’s debate. Mr. Baylis was the most comfortable in Quebec’s official language, followed closely by Ms. Gould. Both were able to articulate their ideas clearly, despite forgivable grammar mistakes. Ms. Gould said her command of French best positions her to spar with other federal leaders.
