The election is not a time to discuss serious issues.

Government cannot and must not replace private initiative.

On the same day I was sworn in as Prime Minister of Canada, I announced the most sweeping reform ever undertaken in the structure of our federal government.

We now know that unity, the cornerstone of Canada's greatness and prosperity, is above all a matter of emotion and reason for every citizen.

In all modesty, we must admit that governments are not always the best doctors when it comes to diagnosing economic ailments and prescribing the right treatment.

Religion gets in the way of morality.

I'd be prouder still to say I was Canada's 10th woman prime minister.
