People's Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier, in Halifax for a party rally Friday night, says his party will be able to field candidates in every riding in the next federal election. The party, which was granted official status Thursday, was formed after Bernier left the federal Conservatives last year after finishing second in the party's leadership race to Andrew Scheer. Bernier spoke with CBC's Amy Smith on a range of topics, from his plan to get rid of ACOA to equalization payments. What do you think the appetite is for your plan, what you're offering? So, for example, I was in ... Saskatoon and Regina to speak about the equalization, saying that we must be less generous.
