I am a competitive person, and I didn't win the leadership of the PC party with a mind to stepping down so soon afterwards. But no regrets.

I want to lead the Progressive Conservative Party, a party that will promote true conservative values and principles. I can tell you right now, I am not the merger candidate. I am not interested in institutional marriages with other parties.

There is no room in our party for such outrageous racism. We are a party of inclusion and the only people that should be excluded are those who preach this kind of hate.

Technology has kind of stalled out here, we've got some potholes developing in that former leadership area.

They said how important it is for our party, how important it is for the leadership.

First off, you have to have a good relationship with your party leadership and then you need to have good relationships with your colleagues in the House on both sides of the aisle. I plan on doing both of those things.
