...With Rae in second place coming into the convention, the remaining two in the leading pack of candidates are St?phane Dion and Gerard Kennedy. Dion is a 51-year-old political science professor and former federal environment minister that then Prime Minister Jean Chr?tien recruited as his national unity crusader following the nearly disastrous Quebec independence referendum of 1995. Dion and Kennedy, a 46-year-old former Ontario education minister, are battling it out for third place.

...adviser to Martin in the early, upbeat days of his two-year rule. A low point, yes, but one that at least a few party veterans view as an overdue opportunity to heal internal wounds and rebuild. "It's time to regroup," says departing Environment Minister St?phane Dion, one of the 13 Grits (out of 21) to survive the combined Tory-Bloc onslaught in Quebec.
