Ousted Progressive Conservatives leader, Tim Hudak, had earlier raised voice against aid to companies as “corporate welfare,” however with the new leadership campaign in site it looks to be back on the table. Addressing the audience at the party’s first debate in Sudbury on Monday night, leadership candidate and Barrie MP, Patrick Brown, stated that “we have to be open-minded.”
In his remarks, Brown alleged that “you wonder why we did badly” in cities like Windsor, St. Catharines, Oshawa and others. He said that “we took a cookie-cutter approach and turned off parts of the province.” Being the only candidate in the race who does not have a seat at Queen’s Park, Brown urged party members to choose him on the grounds that he can match the federal party’s electoral success in the province that has shut out the Progressive Conservatives from power since 2003. The two-hour debate was broadcast live over the Internet.
Progressive Conservatives’ party members are anticipated to vote in early May and the new leader is scheduled to be announced at a convention in Toronto on May 9. In addition to Brow, MPP Christine Elliott also criticized the policies “that ended up tanking us” in the June 12 provincial election that saw Hudak’s Conservatives lose nine seats and hand over a majority to Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne. She said that those measures were rejected as “the politics of division,” urging the party to build its support with a more broad-based approach.
