Saskatchewan Mp: Email Statement and Mp

saskatchewan mp: One big move came from Conservative MP Andrew Scheer, who on Tuesday gave up his job as Opposition House leader."My consultations about a possible run for the Conservative leadership have been very encouraging and I would like to continue to explore the feasibility of such an endeavour," the Saskatchewan MP said in an email statement, according to Brandon Sun. The former Speaker of the House of Commons is expected to officially declare his candidacy in the coming weeks.O'Toole, a bilingual MP from Ontario who is reconsidering his earlier decision to stay out of the race, said he wants to use his time in Halifax to make sure that the support he has received from his colleagues is widespread among the 97 MPs and 41 senators that make up the Conservative caucus."I would be running as a unifier and I have to make sure that I have that support throughout the caucus," O'Toole said in an interview Monday. The news this week that former cabinet minister Peter Mac Kay has officially decided not to join the race has cleared the way for other hopefuls — and more precisely, their potential campaign teams and financial donors — to start making their own intentions known, even if most political observers did not consider his decision a surprise."I would suspect that now, nobody is waiting for anybody else to enter, so you need to signal your intentions sooner, rather than later," said Conservative strategist Tim Powers. Conservative MP Lisa Raitt has said she has made up her mind and she is expected to make an announcement some time this month. Stephen Greene.
