B.C. MP Peter Julian quits as NDP House leader to explore leadership bid
OTTAWA — British Columbia MP Peter Julian is stepping down as NDP House leader to explore the idea of running for the leadership of his party.
“That will mean lots of conversations — hundreds of conversations — in the coming period,” Julian said Wednesday
“I’m inspired by New Democrats, I’m inspired by Canadians, and I’m looking forward to those conversations,” said Julian, who represents the riding of New Westminster-Burnaby.
Murray Rankin, another B.C. New Democrat, will take over as House leader.
