The five federal NDP leadership candidates are meeting in New Westminster, B.C., Thursday night for the final debate before the party selects its new leader.
The candidates vying for the leadership are Rob Ashton, Tanille Johnston, Avi Lewis, Heather McPherson and Tony McQuail.
You can watch the final debate on CBCNews.ca, CBC Gem, the CBC News app or the CBC News YouTube page. It starts at 8 p.m. ET and is scheduled for 90 minutes.
The debate will highlight seven key themes: the economy, the future and role of the party, rebuilding the party, foreign affairs, the environment, health care and public services.
Party members will select a new leader next month. Voting opens March 9 and the winner will be announced at the party’s convention in Winnipeg on March 29.
