Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole says he's in charge.
He's brushing off the idea that a weekend convention vote against a resolution that would have included the line "climate change is real" in the party's official policy document should colour opinions of his party.
O'Toole is dismissing concerns that a vote by the party's grassroots on climate change should colour Canadians' opinion of his party.
O'Toole says he and his caucus agree they need to take action to address climate change.
Over the weekend, delegates to the Conservatives' policy convention voted against a resolution that would have included the line "climate change is real" in the party's official policy document.
The Liberals have been attacking the Conservatives as climate change deniers.
