Contenders to replace Andrew Scheer as leader of the federal Conservative party could begin announcing themselves as soon as today.
No one has stepped forward yet, but there is already plenty of speculation about who might enter the race.
Among the possibilities -- former interim leader Rona Ambrose, former Harper-era ministers James Moore and Erin O'Toole, and Peter MacKay, the last leader of the Progressive Conservative party before it merged in 2003 with the Canadian Alliance.
Scheer announced Thursday he was stepping down as soon as a new leader is chosen - at the same time, Global News revealed party funds were used to help pay for private schools for his five children.
