Our party will make those decisions in our own way and in our own time,
This culture of waste, management and corruption that the Liberal Party practices needs to end, ... I don't think it's going to end with a few firings. I think it's only going to end when we fire the government.
I'm confident of their judgment and if the Liberal party shares the same confidence, they're free to call an election.
The Liberal party thinks public money is a party election fund,
I've established a party that is well financed, that is paying its own bills, that has been running in the black. And we can afford to pay for our own partisan activities.
This party will not take its position based o-n public opinion polls. We will not take a stand based o-n focus groups. We will not take a stand based o-n phone-in shows or householder surveys or any other vagaries of pubic opinion.
High-ranking Liberals cynically manipulated the sponsorship program to enrich their party and their friends, ... The Liberals are still in office; no Liberal is still in jail. Political accountability will have to rest with the voters.
a substantial strengthening of the Liberal Party of Quebec.
I think one of the difficulties here is that the Liberal Party has been so badly run and has relied so long on taxpayers' money to supplement its activities that I don't think the Liberal Party has been able to pay for polling, to pay for these other things.

This country has the opportunity of electing a new government, to bring the country together, East and West, English and French, city and farm, new Canadians and old. Only one party can do it.
I'm prepared to take that challenge, instead. I look forward to debating Mr. Duceppe in the near future.
Atlantic Canada's culture of defeat will be hard to overcome as long as Atlantic Canada is actually physically trailing the rest of the country.
