We're committed to making sure parents have affordable, quality early learning for their kids - there's no question about it.
I know that a prime minister of Canada needs to be deeply respectful of the other levels of government - whether it be municipal, provincial, or even nation-to-nation relationships with aboriginal governments.
I think Canadians want to get a feel for the people who will serve them... and, for me, I think that Canadians will trust people who trust them.
When my father died, I had millions of people supporting me in a very, very difficult time. I have received so much from this country. I realize that we're defined in life not by what we get from this world but by what we have to offer it, and I know that I have a lot to offer this country, and I'm serious about devoting my life to it.
I sort of locked into the idea that if I could be the perfect son to both of my parents, well maybe that would be enough to keep them together. And ultimately, obviously, it wasn't. Regardless of what I tried to do. That was a lesson about limitations.
I have a very difficult, high-pressured job. Everyone knows how challenging it is to balance family responsibilities with a job that takes me across the country and working extremely hard.
I think we're pretty much where we need to be on corporate taxes.
My father raised us to step toward trouble rather than to step away from it.
People still think there's sort of a debate around the Charter that politicos go into. And I get wrapped up in it, too, from time to time.
Living your life in the public eye is a greater burden than most people can imagine.
Canadians want to elect good people to be their voice in Ottawa.
Can I actually make a difference? Can I get people to believe in politics once again? Can I get people to accept more complex answers to complex questions? I know I can. I know that's what I do very well.
Canada has always been there to help people who need it.
Who cares about winning? We should focus on serving.
