Irene Mathyssen and Claude Gravelle go for Paul Dewar.

“I took my time in this leadership race. I watched all the candidates and made the decision that Paul is the leader with the skills to grow our party in new regions across the country,” said Mathyssen. “Paul has the experience that counts: in the community, in Parliament, and on the international stage. You can tell he gets people and people get him”.
