Progressive Conservative candidates from Quebec want to exert real power in Ottawa, not simply be content with playing a secondary role.

Canadians want to see real hope restored, not false hopes raised.

Quebecers have rarely in their history been better represented than they are right now - at the highest levels of the federal government.

For me, unemployment and poverty in the Greater Montreal area is not mainly a problem of structure, or design, or statistics. It is a profoundly human situation.

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

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

I know Quebecers don't want to relive old battles; they prefer to build for the future.
