Government cannot and must not replace private initiative.

I have always believed governments must adapt to the needs of the people, not the other way around.

Canada is the homeland of equality, justice and tolerance.

Canadians know that our difficulties will not be resolved overnight. They are tired of politicians who pretend they will be.

If you never encounter anything in your community that offends you, then you are not living in a free society.

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.

I believe it is time for new leadership that is able to leave the '70s behind.
