Leadership debate

The 14 Conservative Leadership candidates gathered in Moncton last night for a bilingual debate.

It was to see how each of them handled both languages with much of the debate focusing on creating jobs and stopping young people from leaving some provinces.

They talked about the criminal justice system, infrastructure and economic growth; including the Energy East Pipeline.

The debate was relatively tame with a lot of agreement among the 14.
