I made a commitment... both to myself and to some supporters to carefully consider a run for the Liberal leadership for the Liberal Party of Canada.

There are no factions in the Liberal Party.

Our two major parties are actually called the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party.

Never, never, will I accept, on issues of integrity, comparisons with the Liberal party.

My father's values and vision of this country obviously form everything I have as values and ideals. But this is not the ghost of my father running for the leadership of the Liberal party. This is me.

I am for peace, retrenchment and reform, the watchword of the great Liberal Party thirty years ago.
