The Conservative caucus will meet to discuss their election defeat and decide on an interim Opposition Leader, as Pierre Poilievre lost his seat. Potential candidates include Andrew Scheer and Melissa Lantsman.
Poilievre remains party leader but cannot be Opposition Leader. His future is uncertain, with discussions surrounding a possible leadership review and the Reform Act's implications.
The Conservatives are concerned the Liberals are trying to recruit their MPs to secure a majority government. A Liberal insider did not deny these attempts.
Poilievre's access to Stornoway, the official residence of the Opposition Leader, is in question due to the Official Residences Act. His continued residency might depend on the timing of a by-election in a Conservative-leaning riding.
The caucus will decide whether to adopt the Reform Act, which could influence the process of electing an interim leader and allow for a leadership review of Poilievre.
