Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole distances himself from his predecessor by proclaiming pro-choice views in Quebec visit
Ryan Remiorz/The Canadian Press
Mr. Scheer, who led the Conservative Party before Mr. O’Toole, has described himself as personally against abortion, although he had vowed not to reopen the issue if his party won the election. His answers on abortion and climate change during the 2019 debate generated negative coverage that hurt the party’s efforts in the province.
At dissolution, the Liberals had 35 of Quebec’s 78 House of Commons seats. The Bloc Québécois had 32, and the NDP one. The Tories had 10 seats. To nationalists, he said: “My message to you is clear: All nationalists in Quebec are welcome in the Conservative Party. This is your home. Come and sit around the decision table in Ottawa. This is your table. And we will achieve great things together.”
