Jean-Marc Léger, CEO, Leger, provided a short introduction, which was followed by a discussion between: 

  • Christian Bourque, Executive Vice-President, Leger – Moderator 
  • Andrew Enns, Executive Vice-President, Winnipeg Office, Leger – Panelist
  • Joanna Smith, Ottawa Bureau Chief, The Canadian Press – Panelist

The webinar focused on the following themes:

  • Why have we ended up with a parliament similar to the previous one?
  • Which issues played a role in Canadians’ decisions, and which ones did not?
  • Which strategies, messages or tactics paid off and which ones failed to move the needle?
  • How are the changing demographics in our country impacting election campaigns and outcomes?
  • What have we learned in the last six weeks?
  • What’s next?

A 15-minute Q&A session followed the discussion.
