Tonight friends, our great country has voted for change, and Canadians have asked our party to take the lead in delivering that change.
I have never been so proud of our great country, and I am honored and overwhelmed to be asked to lead it.
Canadians have asked our party to take the lead in delivering that change. We will honor your words and deliver on our commitments.
The government will join, notwithstanding its failure to prepare, its neglect in co-operating with its allies, or its inability to contribute. In the end it will join out of the necessity created by a pattern of uncertainty and indecision. It will not join as a leader but unnoticed at the back of the parade.
I don't think any federalist leader should be urging people to vote for the Bloc.
First of all, I can't forget my first responsibility - which is to be the Leader of the Opposition and that's to provide an alternative government.
The Leader of the Opposition's constitutional obligation - the obligation to Parliament - it's the reason we did the merger! - is to make sure Canadians have an alternative for government.
I'm sure he'll do us proud over there.
I'm really looking for a clear signal that in fact he wants to defeat the government,
The biggest thing I want to do on foreign policy is to increase Canada's foreign policy capacities, whether they be in foreign aid, or military capacity or disaster assistance. We want Canada to be able to do more.
Strong Canada-U.S. relations are a priority for my government.
That is not value for money and it has to stop.
That is the allegation that is beyond the pale in this campaign.
That is what has been blurred, ... Frankly, if the Government of Canada would sue the Liberal party, it would provide a wake-up call forever that that is not the same thing.
