Peter MacKay Party Quotations

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.

It's not as if our party has a leadership campaign underway.

My gut tells me and continues to tell me that the Conservative party is on a road back to government.

We have to be focused on growing the party and getting young people to see us as a viable option.

The people who are involved in these type of shootings are not the type of individuals who are going to adhere to a gun ban or ever register a gun, period. The Liberal party has proven time and time again that they're more concerned with the optics than the practicalities of these issues.

I learned a long time ago that you never say 'never', but this is all about timing and it's all about the commitment that I've given to the party and to the leader and to my constituents,

I don't think it bodes well for the Liberal Party . . . that nobody wants to step up to the plate. And now, with almost all of what I would describe as tier-one Liberal leadership candidates taking themselves out of the running, they are going to be left, really, with a void in this leadership campaign.

In fact, I'm told more who came from the other side of the legacy party (were affected), so this isn't something that is along party divisions or affiliations, it has nothing to do with that.
