And how does a party keep momentum going for two whole years, anyway?GUEST: Stephanie Taylor, Parliament Hill reporter, Canadian Press

Conservatives from across the country will gather this week in Quebec City for their party convention. There are some heated issues on the agenda; like a policy pushing the party to oppose gender-affirming care for minors and one advocating for the right to refuse vaccine mandates, and there are less controversial resolutions on things like housing affordability and tax reform. Today, J.P. Tasker, a reporter with CBC's parliamentary bureau, walks us through what's at stake for Poilievre in his first Conservative convention as leader, what the party's grassroots is asking for and what it could mean for the future of the Conservative Party.
