On behalf of BC Electoral District Associations around the Province it is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the BC leadership debate.

This digital debate will be hosted via Zoom. Although this debate has the approval of the CPC, it is strictly a grassroots initiative. Please note, Leslyn Lewis, Erin O'Toole and Derek Sloan have all accepted the invitation to participate.

Peter Mackay has declined the invitation to participate in the B.C. Debate.

This debate will be hosted by the Vancouver Centre Conservative Association on behalf of all 42 Electoral District Associations across the province of British Columbia. The debate will be broken into two periods. For the first period, to encourage substantive, specific replies over sloganeering on niche B.C. issues. There will be eight topics with specific questions coming from a broad grassroots consultation of all 42 BC EDAs:

  1. The Environment
  2. Coastal Resource Management
  3. B.C. Logging Industry
  4. Indigenous Affairs
  5. Affordable Housing
  6. Money Laundering
  7. Community Outreach
  8. Freedom of Expression 

For the second period of the debate, candidates will have a one-on-one period where they will have the opportunity to ask each other questions. The moderator will be Jordan Bateman, a former Langley Township Councillor and Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s BC Director. He currently serves the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association as VP-Communications, where he continues his advocacy for a strong, market-driven economy.

This is a digital debate, so anyone from anywhere in the province can participate live. 

The debate begins July 8th, 6 PM PST. To register for the event, click here
