Maxime Bernier

Do we want to emphasize our ethnic and religious differences, and exploit them to buy votes, as the Liberals are doing? Or emphasize what unites us and the values that can guarantee social cohesion?

Policy should not aim to change the cultural character and social fabric of Canada.

It's not true that we are white supremacists in Canada.

You can be of any ethnic background or faith and be a Canadian if you share fundamental Canadian values, learn about our history and culture, and integrate in our society.

My party will do nothing on climate change because environment, it's a shared jurisdiction, and provinces, they have programs for that, and so I'll let provinces decide what they're going to do to fight climate change.

We need new technology to fight climate change and that will come from the private sector.

Brian Mulroney came to power in 1984 and privatized Petro-Canada, brought in the GST and signed the free trade agreement with the U.S. He was a great prime minister and made bold conservative changes. That's all I want to do.

You can shut down our economy and the effect on climate change, it will be nothing.

I believe in climate change.

Our immigration policy should not aim to forcibly change the cultural character and social fabric of Canada, as radical proponents of multiculturalism want.

I can understand why immigrants would want to bring the rest of their extended family here, including older ones who will benefit from our health-care system.

We must give less money to these provinces, like my own province of Quebec, and give them the right incentive to develop their own natural resources and their economy.
