Elizabeth May looks to sow new growth as she retakes reins of Green Party

OTTAWA — The Green Party’s Elizabeth May is keeping her attention on climate action and on internal growth after disappointing results during her brief hiatus as party leader.

May is now “job-sharing” the role with Jonathan Pedneault after pitching a co-leadership plan to party members during the leadership race this fall.

That will eventually require a change to the party rules to allow the pair to share duties.

Pedneault is planning to seek a Quebec seat in the next federal election, and says the party is rebuilding and refocusing on issues like health care, inflation and a green transition.
