Carney Holds Polling Lead over Poilievre // Inter-Provincial Trade Panel

PM Mark Carney's Liberals are enjoying a healthy lead in the polls. Can Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives close the 14-point gap? And what about the NDP, who will elect a new leader over the next few days? Pollster David Valentin digs into the numbers - and brings valuable insights - in our feature interview (4:20) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.
