The campaign of Conservative MP and party leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre has released the number of new members it signed before the June 3 cut-off date, and it eclipses by far the total number of new members signed by all of the previous candidates in the 2020 leadership contest.
Poilievre adviser Jenni Byrne said on June 4 that 311,958 new members had signed up on the campaign website.
