For two and a half hours on October 9 the candidates in the Skeena - Bulkley Valley riding interacted with the residents of Prince Rupert as the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce hosted its all candidate forum at the Lester Centre of the Arts.
After a two minute opening statement, candidates Hondo Arendt (Green Party), Nathan Cullen (NDP), Mary Etta Goodacre (Canadian Action Party), Corinna Morhart (Liberal), Sharon Smith (Conservative) and Rod Taylor (Christian Heritage Party) faced individual questions from a panel consisting of a Chamber of Commerce representative and a representative from each of the local media outlets.
