Peter Mansbridge behind-the-scenes with federal party leaders
"What is it about you, that you feel should make you a Prime Minister?"- Peter Mansbridge to Prime Minster Stephen Harper on CBC's The National
That is the final question CBC's chief correspondent Peter Mansbridge has asked of each of the three leaders of Canada's political parties. It may sound simple. But in the end, it's proven difficult to answer.
Peter Mansbridge's one-on-one interviews with Conservative leader Stephen Harper, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, and NDP leader Tom Mulcair all aired this week on CBC Television's The National.
And, while Canadians have had the chance to watch the party leaders campaigning across the country, very few have had the opportunity to sit down face to face with them.
Today we've invited Peter Mansbridge to join us and share his insights about the experience.
Please note: Since Peter Mansbridge's interview with Green Party Leader Elizabeth May will take place and air tomorrow, we didn't ask questions about that conversation. Check The National's website sometime on Friday.
