Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre went after People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier while visiting Manitoba on June 2 as a federal byelection is set to be held in Portage-Lisgar later this month.

Bernier has registered as a candidate in the Manitoba riding for the June 19 byelection. The riding was previously held by former interim Conservative leader Candice Bergen, who resigned her seat in February.
