It took the better part of three years, myriad fundraising events and help from former prime ministers — and at least one country singer — but Peter MacKay says he has finally paid off the $1.7 million in debt his campaign ran up in the 2020 Conservative leadership race.
The Harper-era cabinet minister told CBC News he's proud to report that as of June, his campaign has paid off "every penny" it owed. He acknowledged it was a struggle.
"It was not easy, to say the least. It was a very heavy burden to carry after the result of the leadership. To be informed that we were that much in debt was a shock to me," he said.
