The party says a new leader will be picked on March 9. Leadership contestants must also declare by Jan. 23 and will be required to pay an entrance fee.
Former B.C. premier Christy Clark is said to be “organizing heavily” and will formally decide early next week whether she will run for the leadership, an official spokesperson confirmed to CTV News. Gould wants to run a campaign focused on affordability and younger Canadians, the source said. She will spend the weekend trying to ascertain whether she can fundraise to make the $350,000 entrance fee.
