Liberals Appoint Re-Election Campaign Committee to Ensure Preparedness

The Liberal Party has appointed its re-election campaign committee, a move which in the past has marked the run-up to an election call within months.

Tourism Minister Soraya Martinez Ferrada and MP Terry Duguid, parliamentary secretary to the prime minister, will co-chair the Liberals’ campaign committee, the release said.

“Under Soraya Martinez Ferrada and Terry Duguid’s leadership, our party will build an innovative campaign focused on making life more affordable, fighting climate change, keeping our communities safe, and growing our economy and the middle class.”

The prime minister accused Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of “importing far-right American-style politics here to Canada,” while the Liberals instead focused on “delivering real results to make life more affordable and build an economy that works for all Canadians.”

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Ms. Ferrada told reporters that getting ready for the next election means “getting candidates, getting MPs knocking on doors, getting our volunteers, donating money to the Party.”

“The objective is to be ready. When it will come is certainly not up to me but we have to be ready,” she said.

Previously, the appointments of campaign co-chairs came within months of an election call. In 2021, the Liberals organized their campaign committee on April 9 for a snap election which was called on Aug. 15. In 2019 the Liberals named its committee on Jan. 25, and an election was called on Sept. 11.
