Conservative MP Andrew Scheer says Pierre Poilievre will continue on as party leader following the recent electoral defeat, noting that the party will focus on strategies for Poilievre to regain a seat in the House of Commons in the future.

“I can tell you that Pierre is staying on. He’s fighting, he’s going to work with our caucus, he’s going to work with our loyal volunteers, our activists, to keep the momentum going,” Scheer said during an April 30 interview with CTV News.
