Mr. Speaker, I was not going to, as a paid political announcement, mention at all that there will be a leadership vote for the Progressive Conservatives tomorrow night, October 24. I stand here very proudly and inform the members of the House that yes, I do support the Right Hon. Joe Clark as the next leader of the Progressive Conservatives.
The hon. member also suggested that as the lone Tory in western Canada I take some great pride in being that lone Tory. I would like to see where the members are for the Reform Party in Ontario. I see they are perhaps a little lacking in that area of the rest of Canada, including Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces.
On Monday there will hopefully be a new leader of the Progressive Conservatives. Our policy will remain Conservative policy. If it were our government in place, this piece of legislation would not be before the House right now.
