The Member of Parliament for Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa says there’s an air of excitement in the Conservative Party of Canada following the election of new leader Erin O’Toole.
Dan Mazier tells CKDM he’d endorsed O’Toole throughout the leadership race “because he was, in my opinion, the best candidate.”
“I’ll have to admit that when Andrew Scheer stepped down, that sent our party into a particular direction that were kind of in purgatory until we had a leader. Having this done and put behind us in such a decisive vote, definitely sent us in a positive direction moving forward,” said Mazier.
Upwards of 175,000 Conservative party members cast a ballot in the election, in which O’Toole was announced as the winner in the early morning hours on Monday.
As the MP for the Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa riding, Mazier also serves as Deputy Shadow Minister for Environment and Climate Change, but says there could be some shuffles on the horizon with O’Toole starting to form his team around him in the leadership office.
“But he might leave a lot of us in the same positions too, so we don’t what the committees or shadow cabinet are going to look like. It’s a very exciting time, it’s like a whole new reset after an election.”
