Ruby Dhalla, a candidate in the Liberal Party’s leadership race, is under scrutiny by party officials just days before the upcoming debates. While specific reasons for the questioning have not been disclosed, media reports suggest concerns about potential interference from India. However, the party’s director of communications, Parker Lund, stated that the inquiries do not pertain to foreign government interference. Dhalla, a former Member of Parliament from 2004 to 2011, is among several contenders aiming to succeed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who announced his resignation earlier this year. The Liberal Party has scheduled two leadership debates in Montreal: a French-language debate on February 24 and an English-language debate on February 25. The new leader is set to be chosen on March 9.
