People's Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier attended the final day of the International Plowing Match in Verner on September 21.

He spent time meeting with voters and credited the growing support in the Nipissing-Timiskaming riding as a major part of being included in the upcoming debates.

Bernier also weighed in on Trudeau's 'brown face' scandal.

"They were telling us that we only attract white supremacists in our party. That's not the case, and he's saying something and doing the opposite. That's why he is, I think, the biggest hypocrite in this country," said Bernier.

After attending the IPM, Bernier held a rally at the Davedi Club in North Bay.
