Freeland calls for 4 Liberal leadership debates, challenges rivals to run no matter who wins [Video]

Liberal leadership hopeful Chrystia Freeland is calling on the Liberal Party to hold four debates between now and March 9, when registered members will choose the next prime minister. 

“Canadians deserve to see us debate our ideas and the path forward for our party and our country without delay,” she wrote in an open letter to her competitors that was shared widely.

“We must show Canadians that we, as a party, are up to the task of defeating Pierre Poilievre.” 

The former finance minister is calling for two debates in each official language. 

The Liberal Party has not yet said when or where or how often candidates will debate. The party’s leadership vote committee is in charge of setting up the rules.
