Trudeau to take questions in Liberal party's first-ever virtual fundraiser

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is offering himself up for questions from Liberal party supporters in a first-of-its-kind virtual fundraiser tonight.

Donors ponying up any amount but $25 is what the party suggests get to participate in a mass video link and pose written questions to the Liberal leader.

The party says it has received more than 500 questions so far. Montreal MP Rachel Bendayan is moderating the event and will choose which questions to put to Trudeau.

Trudeau normally attends multiple fundraisers across the country but the COVID-19 pandemic has put an end to large in-person gatherings and all political parties have had to find other ways of raising money and conducting voter outreach.
