Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, on October 19, my fellow Albertans will vote on whether Alberta should remain united with our great country or go down the uncertain path of separation. Our country has challenges, but I would choose our country over any other, any time. Former prime minister Harper once said, “Canada is, and always has been, our country.” We want Canada to be a true north that is as strong and as free as it can be in every way that matters, the best country in the world. My fellow Conservatives and I believe in this vision. That is why we serve. That is why Conservatives are fighting for a stronger Alberta within a united Canada, an Alberta that can reach its full potential without being held back by Ottawa. I urge my fellow Albertans to heed this call. Let us be a true north that is as strong and as free as it can be. May God bless our country. Long live Canada.
