The Conservative Party's fundraising arm has a new chair for the first time in two decades.
Leader Erin O'Toole says he is nominating his longtime campaign fundraiser James Dodds to be chair of the Conservative Fund, replacing former senator Irving Gerstein, who is retiring.
The nomination must be approved by the party's national council.
Dodds is a vice-president at the TD Bank Group in Toronto and has aided O'Toole in both his bids to be the Conservative leader.
O'Toole became the new leader Aug. 23 and is now putting his stamp on the party.
On Wednesday he named his House of Commons team, including Manitoba MP Candice Bergen as deputy leader, and is to announce his new shadow cabinet next week.
