Local Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MP Ruff Offers Statement on Change of Conservative Leadership

Alex Ruff, Member of Parliament for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound issued a statement today on the recent change in leadership of the Federal Conservative Party that saw previous Leader Erin O’Toole voted out and Interim Leader Candice Bergen appointed.

In the statement Ruff offers his thanks to Erin O’Toole and his family for their unwavering dedication. He called the Conservatives the only big tent federal party left in Canada. He added that he supported Erin unequivocally as the grassroots elected leader of the party.

He adds that until they have an elected leader, he and his Conservative colleges will fulfill their current role as the Official Opposition under Interim Leader Bergen.
