Prominent former Conservative Peter MacKay says he's not ruling out a Conservative leadership bid – in fact, he's 'very seriously considering it.'

MacKay made the comments in an interview with host Evan Solomon that aired on CTV's Power Play Wednesday. MacKay's name is raised whenever concerns come up about the current Conservative leadership, and his name was invoked once again when outgoing Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer announced he'd be stepping down.
Should he join the race, MacKay would enter a field that already has a few candidates. CTV News has confirmed Conservative MPs Pierre Poilievre and Erin O’Toole both plan to enter the race, and unelected Conservative organizer Bryan Brulotte has already launched his own leadership campaign.
