A number of Conservative MPs rallied behind Erin O’Toole Tuesday, saying he should stay on as leader even as some of his caucus colleagues mobilize to oust him.
Speaking briefly to reporters on Parliament Hill, the party’s deputy leader Candice Bergen said she’s not interested in taking over as interim leader if O’Toole gets the boot after a planned vote tomorrow at the Conservative caucus meeting.
“I want Erin O’Toole to remain as leader,” she said.
MPs opposed to O’Toole’s leadership have collected enough signatures — 35 so far — to hold a secret ballot on his future Wednesday, sources have told CBC
