The Conservative Party of Canada will have a new leader Saturday, as all candidates are meeting at the Conservative Leadership convention.

The position has been open since Stephen Harper stepped down after the 2015 federal election.

Pundits feel that out of the field of 13 candidates, it's a race between Quebec's Maxime Bernier and Regina-Qu'appelle MP Andrew Scheer.

Scheer feels that his home province could be a deciding factor with party members, saying,"Saskatchewan has undergone such tremendous growth and change and I think the story of Saskatchewan over the past ten years is an inspirational story for other provinces, whether it's New Brunswick or Quebec, or provinces that have had tough economic times."

At a recent campaign event in Moose Jaw, Scheer said he would be the best party choice and explained, "I am the only candidate that is talking about staying true to our conservative values but finding a new way to connect with people."

He added, "I'm doing this to rebuild the Conservative Party, reach a broader audience to win in 2019, so we can limit the damage that Justin Trudeau is doing to our economy."

If he wins, Scheer would become the first Saskatchewan Conservative leader since John Diefenbaker.
