Following the counting and tabulation of the ballots, the winner will be announced on Sunday, August 23 starting at 6:00 PM. Initially slated to end June 27, the contest was extended to August due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier, MacKay was the final leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, and he agreed to merge the party with Stephen Harper's Canadian Alliance in 2003, forming the Conservative Party of Canada and became its first Deputy Leader. Erin O’Toole: Currently the MP for Durham, he was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in a by-election in 2012. O'Toole served as Minister of Veterans’ Affairs in 2015. In 2017, O'Toole ran in the 2017 Conservative leadership race to replace Stephen Harper, where he finished third. Since August 2017 and until he entered the current leadership race, O'Toole served as the Official Opposition critic for foreign affairs.
