Mr. Speaker, members of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada demonstrated to Canadians this past weekend in Quebec City that we are the only truly national alternative to the Liberal government. Over 1,000 dedicated Conservatives from across this great country discussed, debated and approved what will be our vision for Canada's future in the next federal election.
This past weekend also demonstrated to cynics of other political persuasions that the Conservative Party is very much alive and kicking after more than 130 years. Our party will continue to put forward new, bold, progressive ideas, ideas that will appeal to all Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
I would also like to congratulate Kris Paulson from my constituency who won a communications award from the PCYF.
On behalf of the PC caucus I would like to thank all of the dedicated Progressive Conservatives, young and old, across this great country who showed their true blue colours over the weekend in Quebec City.
I am a Canadian, my country includes Quebec as well.
