What led to Andrew Scheer's decision to step away from the leadership of the Conservative Party leadership? MP Michael Barrett and strategist Kory Teneycke have opposing views on the matter.  15:05

Kory Teneycke, Stephen Harper's former communications director, says he believes Andrew Scheer stepped down as leader of the Conservative Party as a direct result of revelations he used money from party coffers to pay his children's private school tuition.

The party's executive director, Dustin van Vugt, said that Scheer and his family were presented with "a standard offer to cover costs associated with moving his family from Regina to Ottawa." Those funds included schooling, said van Vugt.
