Our mission is clear. We will restore faith and trust in our public institutions as we keep Canada strong and united.
We will improve Canadians' faith in our public institutions by making government more accountable and effective.
You know, the public health system is the only one most Canadians have ever used. It's the only one my family has ever used. We've just got to make it work.
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.
This election is about choice: A government plagued by scandal, that is only in it for what it can take, or our new team, who want in to public office for what it can give.
I can assure the Canadian public that the Conservative Party, having been out of office for most of the last 100 years, doesn't think it has a divine right to rule, and we're certainly going to listen to what other parties have to say.
That is how I want my time in public office to be. I'm here to do a job. I'm not here to join a club. I'm not here to buy into a lifestyle.
The Liberal party thinks public money is a party election fund,
I think what I've tried to lay out to the Canadian people is that we would take a middle-road approach. I don't think we're going to be able to have a lot of other stuff.
I think things are looking up, but you don't know until people actually go into the voting booth.
I think there is a dangerous rise in defeatist sentiment in this country. I have said that repeatedly, and I mean it and I believe it.
We can win seats in every region, and at this point I think we are the only party that can realistically win seats in every province.
We can win because it is time for a change, time to move forward, time to get beyond the scandals and investigations and corruption.
We've had lots of security announcements from this government and very little action, ... This is part of a pattern of phony announcements. I'll believe it when I see it.
