My
fellow Progressive Conservatives.......our party is embarking
on a new era of exciting challenges....... Islanders now rely upon
us to ensure that the new government is made to be accountable to
the people of this province. My colleagues, Jim Bagnall, Mike Currie
and I solemnly pledge to fulfill this important duty.
The
work of a successful Opposition is dependant on the participation
of all fair minded citizens. That's why I am calling upon you, your
family members and friends, to become engaged in this important
facet of the democratic process.
We
respectfully accept the decision of Islanders on May 28, 2007. Our
task now is to not only carefully scrutinize the actions of the
Liberal government, but to also personally engage Islanders one-on-one
with the goal of laying a firm foundation for the return of a Progressive
Conservative Government in 2011. To that end, our caucus will be
traveling the province, listening to you. I look forward to our
conversations and the opportunity to learn what your priorities
are for the advancement of our Island home. In the meantime, we'd
love to hear from you and we can be reached at 628-8679 or via email
at omcrane@assembly.pe.ca, jdbagnall@assembly.pe.ca,
or mfcurrie@assembly.pe.ca.
You
can help by bringing to the attention of the Opposition Office any
concerns or issues that you might have with the performance of the
current Liberal government. Your input will always be treated in
the strictest confidence. We promise to provide a diligent and constructive
critique of government policies and programs, always keeping in
mind the best interests of Prince Edward Islanders.
Over
the past ten years, our Party was privileged to serve as the government
of this province. It was a decade of great accomplishment and Canada
's new Ambassador to Ireland , Pat Binns, was the chief architect
of this era of progress! For all of his efforts and commitment to
this province, we wish him well and thank him for his dedication.
Throughout, we were --- and will always continue to be --- a Party
that listens and responds to the people.
