Rona Ambrose and Tony Clement

Rona Ambrose: They include Rempel, a junior minister for western economic development; Veterans Affairs Minister O'Toole; and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander -- the latter star having taken a hit over his handling of the Syrian refugee crisis, according to CTV. Other more veteran ministers, including Rona Ambrose, Tony Clement, Lisa Raitt and Maxime Bernier have also been doing work outside of their own ridings. They are quite possibly the next top-tier of cabinet, or else the front bench of a future opposition shadow cabinet. And then there Defence Minister Jason Kenney -- besides Leader Stephen Harper, the only Conservative politician who can speak for the campaign as a whole. Harper has never been much for succession planning or profiling a Conservative "team", but this campaign could also be serving as a showcase of the leadership potential inside the party. In Quebec, Denis Lebel has earned the same type of license. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
