Today, Heather Stefanson announced she will run to become the next leader of Manitoba's Progressive Conservative party.

She announced her resignation from her duties as Manitoba's health minister and her intention to campaign to become the party's next leader. She had been the MLA for Tuxedo since 2000 and joined Pallister's cabinet in May of 2016.

Stefanson says she would advance reconciliation and scrap the school reform Bill 64.

Pallister announced earlier this month that he's stepping down before the next election in 2023, but didn't give a firm timeline on when he plans to do so.
