First elected in 2011, Leitch has received attention in recent months for her stance on immigration and a call for "Canadian values." She has said immigrants and refugees should be screened for "anti-Canadian values." Following her campaign launch, Leitch told reporters the other candidates want to talk about values, but aren't necessarily willing to do anything about it. "What I'm focused on today is face-to-face interviews," she said. "Right now, only one in five individuals is receiving a face-to-face interview with an immigration officer." Former veterans affairs minister Erin O'Toole launched his campaign on Friday, joining the other registered candidates in the race against MPs Maxime Bernier, Andrew Scheer, Michael Chong, Deepak Obhrai and Brad Trost.
