He said it will require someone with some experience in government who knows how to balance budgets, someone who can also innovate the party and the way it communicates its message.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClearly that was not successful with large groups of people in the last federal election so those are kind of the skill sets that I believe are necessary as well as connecting us with city dwellers, with millennial voters, with first generation and new Canadians\u2026 these are going to be things that we have to do better if we\u2019re going to be successful in the next federal election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said he\u2019s still weighing a combination of factors that will go into his final decision of whether to run for the party\u2019s leadership but says he won\u2019t be sitting on the fence for long.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>You\u2019ve got to, as we say around here, fish or cut bait. You\u2019ve got to decide and give people the opportunity to have a good conversation with all the prospective candidates to make up their own mind. I really feel I owe it to the party to communicate a decision.<cite>Parry Sound-Muskoka MP Tony Clement<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Party members are scheduled to vote for their next leader on May 27, 2017, with each riding holding balloting locations.<\/p>\n<p>Interim leader Rona Ambrose took over the reins of the party in November 2015, following the resignation of Stephen Harper as party leader. She will not be able to run as permanent leader due to her position as interim leader. So far three candidates have been confirmed. Maxime Bernier, the  MP for Beauce, Quebec; Michael Chong, MP for Wellington-Halton Hills, Ontario; and Kellie Leitch MP for Simcoe-Grey, Ontario.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>I think it\u2019s important that whoever is Conservative leader does stick to some basic Conservative values that really should transcend the leadership. They\u2019re basic things that we stand for. We believe in fiscal prudence, we believe in lower taxes where possible, we believe that government should be focused and efficient, we believe in a strong military. These are things that really I think are part and parcel of being Conservative in Canada today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He said there are other aspects to what being Conservative means that was not discussed leading up to the election that saw Trudeau\u2019s Liberals rise to power. \u201cI think we really do have to talk about it if we\u2019re going to connect with voters. We do have to have a Conservative environmental policy, we do have to have a Conservative poverty reduction strategy, we do have to have a Conservative take on Indigenous peoples and how to make their lives better in our society, and you know we do have to have a digital platform\u2026 I do believe that we too narrow-casted our message the last time and lost whole swaths of voters who were tuning us out on security and economic issues and didn\u2019t hear us on any other issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the party needs a \u201cbroader menu\u201d of Conservative ideas and policies to be successful and the party needs to change the way it communicates and organizes itself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was an immigrant in this country so I do believe I can speak to first generation Canadians from my perspective as someone who immigrated to this country as a young lad with my parents, I was a small business owner\u2026. I have that commonality with many of our co-citizens\u2026 I obviously have a track record in government, including managing the Treasury for four and a half years. I know how to balance budgets, so these are all things were I to run would be things that I\u2019d be emphasizing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We asked him to fast forward into the future, were he to form part of a Conservative-led government, who would he prefer to have to liaise with as leader of our neighbor to the south \u2013 Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump?  Unfortunately, Clement politely bowed out of a response.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>I wouldn\u2019t like it if American politicians started to intervene in Canadian politics to decide what\u2019s good for us\u2026 It would not be prudent as a Canadian politician to get yourselves embroiled in American politics so I\u2019ll leave that to them.<cite>Clement on whether he&#8217;d endorse Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump as US President<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He did say he\u2019s attending the Republican Convention in Cleveland as an observer in the same way that four years ago he attended the Democratic Convention in North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I do this as an observer on a regular basis. And I\u2019m just going to be there as a Canadian, advancing Canadian interests and Canadian values. I really have no dog in this hunt, I\u2019m just there to express our interests and our values,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t miss out on Doppler!
