The English-language debate takes place Monday while the French-language debate is on Thursday.
Each debate will cover five different topics, with the English one focusing on affordability and economic insecurity, environment and energy, Indigenous issues, leadership in Canada and on the global stage, and polarization, human rights and immigration.
The debates will be streamed on television, radio and online in a wide range of languages.
