His maternal grandmother was from Syria, his mother from England and his father, a Greek Cypriot. &#8220;So I really represent the mosaic of our country,\u201d said Clement,<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>We need to reconnect with Canadians who have been around for eight generations but also Canadians who have been around for eight minutes.<cite>MP Tony Clement<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Clement\u2019s mother later married John Clement of Niagara Falls, also a lawyer, who served as a provincial cabinet minister under Bill Davis and influenced Tony Clement\u2019s own political career.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about his most memorable moments in his political career so far, provincially Clement said it was serving as Health Minister during the SARS outbreak. \u201cIt thrust me into a role where I worked with some amazing doctors and nurses and other health practitioners to stem the tide of the epidemic. That\u2019s something that I will never forget, seeing the heroism and being part of the leadership team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Federally, Clement is also pretty proud of his role as the President of the Treasury Board under Stephen Harper\u2019s government for four and half years and \u201cbeing able to get us back into a surplus position when we left office\u2026 it shows my experience in national budgeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is Clement\u2019s second kick at the can. He ran for the party&#8217;s leadership in 2004 and placed third against Harper and auto parts heiress Belinda Stronach.<\/p>\n<p>He says news of his intent to run for the leadership has been well received not only from across the country but in his own riding. As far as any detractors go, especially those throwing out puns on social media related to G8 Summit spending in 2010, Clement says he\u2019s unmoved.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I answered all those questions five years ago. The Auditor General found that all the money was accounted for and went to the purposes intended,\u201d said Clement, noting that at the time there were 28,000 different infrastructure projects across the country \u201cbecause we were using infrastructure to build our way out of the great recession. I mean haters are going to hate on social media but it\u2019s not an issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Clement said he\u2019s been through many a political adventure and he\u2019s comfortable in his own skin.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>I don\u2019t have to prove anything to anybody, I am very comfortable with who I am and what I\u2019ve done but I do believe that I can offer more to the Conservative Party and then by extension to the country.<cite> Clement<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He noted how very serene he was when he took the plunge and announced he\u2019d be taking a run at the leadership of the Conservative Party in Mississauga on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t have any jitters or nerves. It just seemed like the right thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Given his diverse background we asked if he speaks any other languages, he said French. What about Greek, we asked. \u201cJust swear words,\u201d he laughed.<\/p>\n<p>Clement first ran for a seat in Parry Sound-Muskoka in 2006, narrowly beating out long-time incumbent Liberal cabinet minister Andy Mitchell.<\/p>\n<p>See a related story <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/will-he-be-taking-the-plunge-clement-expected-to-make-an-announcement-within-days\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t miss out on Doppler!
