CBC Compass + Leaders’ Debate

PEI regional, national, and international stories.

The leaders of Prince Edward Island’s four main political parties will take on the critical issues facing voters in a televised debate ahead of the provincial election.

CBC News: Compass host Louise Martin will moderate the debate between Green Party Leader Peter Bevan-Baker, Liberal Leader Sharon Cameron, NDP Leader Michelle Neill and Progressive Conservative Leader Dennis King.

The debate will be broadcast live on TV, radio, and online. 

To get to the heart of each party’s commitments to P.E.I., CBC News asked for questions from the public to put to the leaders. The questions were drawn directly from the responses and the leaders have not seen them beforehand.

The primary issues on the campaign trail have been health care, housing, climate change and the cost of living.

The debate runs from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. AT.
