Area Liberals Not Concerned With Timing of Leadership Convention

Northwestern Ontario Liberals don't seem too concerned a leadership convention to select a replacement for outgoing Premier Dalton McGuinty is just three months away.

The party's regional vice-president Anthony Leek says the January 25th date allows business at Queens Park to resume quickly.

Natural Resources Minister Michael Gravelle, who's giving some consideration to running, says the short time frame may favour high profile candidates.

Thunder Bay-Atikokan MPP Bill Mauro says the short turnaround will help to get uncertainties about the party's leadership out of the way.
