Rebuilding the NDP: Challenges and Opportunities

The federal NDP remains in a political limbo as members continue to lick their wounds from the spring election that left the party with its worst election result ever.

The party has launched an official review to figure out what went wrong with their campaign that saw its caucus shrink from 24 MPs to just 7.

However the NDP already has its eyes set on a rebuild, starting with a leadership race that is set to kick off in September.

Host Cormac Mac Sweeney speaks with Brad Lavigne, President of Counsel Public Affairs and former Principal Secretary to former NDP leader Jack Layton about just how bad things are within the party and how he sees the party's path back to relevance.
