2021 Conservative Convention – Opening Ceremonies
Leslyn Lewis and Archy Beaudry serve as the masters of ceremonies as the 2021 Conservative virtual policy convention gets underway. Lewis is a former Conservative Party of Canada leadership candidate who will run for the party in an Ontario rural riding in the next federal election, and Beaudry is a well-known Quebec radio host and event MC. Opening remarks are made by Conservative party executive director Janet Fryday Dorey and outgoing party president Scott Lamb, as well as by convention chair and national councillor for Nova Scotia Rob Batherson. Former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper pays tribute to former senator Irving Gerstein, the longtime head of the party's fundraising arm who stepped down in 2020 after nearly two decades in the role.
