OTTAWA In two weeks, Conservative leader Erin O’Toole will give a keynote speech at the party’s policy convention that could be the most important of his leadership so far.
But the convention will be a virtual one, meaning it will be difficult to get a sense of how the speech is going down with the thousands of party delegates attending. That might be a lucky thing for O’Toole, because just seven months after he was elected as leader, there are signs he’s created significant internal turmoil.

In an interview with Acadia News, O’Toole proposed a special committee on Canada/US relations.
“We need to have a more serious approach to the most important economic, trade and security relationship Canada has, which is the United States,” explains O’Toole.
“And so we brought a whole debate on that and we’re trying to create a specialized committee to focus on improving this relationship”
O’Toole says now is the right time to set up such a committee with the Biden administration taking over in Washington.
He says Biden’s cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline, the ongoing softwood lumber dispute, steel and aluminum tariffs, just shows the need for such a committee.
