Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith cast doubt Tuesday on a potential leadership bid for the provincial Liberals, hours after filing a notice of appeal to that party challenging the result of a nomination race that he lost.
Erskine-Smith was vying to represent the provincial party in the upcoming Scarborough Southwest byelection ahead of an intended bid for the leadership of the party, but he now says that may not happen.
"I would say it's certainly much less likely than it was heading into the weekend and not only because of the outcome, but also because of how the outcome was realized," he said in an interview on CTV's Power Play.
