The local candidate for the People’s Party of Canada is pleased to see his leader, Maxime Bernier, will be allowed to take part in two televised leaders’ debates next month, after earlier being denied.
Kyle Delfing said it was the right thing for organizers to do, calling it one of the fastest growing parties in Canadian history.
“We have a lot of people behind us here, and for our [candidate] to be excluded from the debate would have been a little bit of an unfair advantage for the other parties,” Delfing told Vernon Matters.
Bernier was previously denied a chance to attend the debates because the independent commission responsible for organizing the events found his party did not have multiple candidates with a “legitimate chance” of being elected in the Oct. 21 vote.
