It was obvious after the '97 election that as long as there were two small-c conservative parties trying to destroy each other, the Liberals would win every election.

The Liberal Party has finally shown its true colours. I'm talking about the real Liberal Party: the tax-hiking, rule-breaking, perk-loving, deficit-spending, debt-mounting, virtue-signalling Liberals Canadians have come to know and despise.

Conservatives have to be more than just Liberals who are good at math.

When it comes to Senate reform, in general, I've always been a believer in an elected Senate and would hope to achieve aspects of Senate reform.

I've got five kids. I want them to have a cleaner environment.

Individuals who have demonstrated serious violent behaviour or have been involved in gang activity have forfeited the right to ever be trusted to own a firearm.

The foundation of our democracy is the ability to have a debate about any subject. That is why I am so committed to defending free speech.

More and more Canadians are seeing through Liberal deceptions.

President Donald Trump has made it very clear he wants to move Canadian jobs to the United States. There's no reason why Justin Trudeau should be helping him.

I've always been worried about Justin Trudeau's attitude towards trade. We saw during the softwood lumber negotiations that he failed to get an extension while President Obama was still in office.

The pain and hardship the Trudeau Liberals are causing Canadians is just temporary.

When I was younger, I remember families like mine who had to deal with the disastrous policies of the 1970s.

I view Indigenous Canadians as an integral part of our society, proud of their contribution to Canadian history, great deal of respect for all they did pre-Confederation, the way that they have been partners in building this society we have, and I'm very proud to represent a dozen First Nations communities in my own riding.

If a factory closes down here and pops up in China where they don't have access to clean technology, clean energy, then the world is not better off.

Are we better off if we displace jobs and investments to other countries and global emissions go up? I say no. Let's bring that production here and have less emissions globally because we can make things more efficiently and cleaner.

I think the Conservative Party has a great story to tell when it comes to relationships with First Nations. I want to be part of the solution-identifying process, talking about, 'What are the practical things that we can achieve that the Conservatives can offer?'

The Conservatives win when we have a positive message, an aspirational message.

Part of what the carbon tax does is make Canada less competitive.

Justin Trudeau tries to say that Canada is back. I say the Liberals are back - back to ignoring the rules and abusing the privileges of power.

Nobody can look back into our history and look at everyone who contributed into our development as a country and find someone who's flawless.

The Liberal carbon tax is just about raising revenue for government.

We've seen the government give out subsidies to companies, those companies turn around and use it for executive bonuses.

Look - 'sunny ways' don't pay the bills. You have to have opportunities.

I believe very firmly that we can get to balanced budgets without raising taxes and without cutting transfers to the provinces or to individuals.

I will withhold federal funding from universities that shut down debate and can't stand different points of view.
