First the win, now the work: What Pierre Poilievre has to do next as new Tory leader
CTV
With the House of Commons set to resume sitting in nine days, new Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his inner circle have to decide who will fill the party's critic roles, and where to place the Conservative members of parliament who were former leadership rivals.
Pierre Poilievre is waking up today as the new leader of the Conservative party, coming off a landslide win.
Before he can take time to enjoy the victory, he has a list of things to do.
The House of Commons is set to resume sitting in nine days, meaning Poilievre and his inner circle have to decide who will fill the party's critic roles.
Poilievre has no shortage of names to pick from, given that 62 out of the party's 118 members of Parliament chose to back him in the leadership campaign.
He must also decide where to place the MPs who were former leadership rivals: Scott Aitchison and Leslyn Lewis.
The Conservative caucus is also expected to meet on Monday, where Poilievre and the MPs he leads -- including those who did not back him in the contest -- will hammer out their priorities for the fall.
Saturday's leadership election results show that Poilievre didn't just win big, but really big.
