We want First Nations and these people to be like Canadians on a lot of points of view. Right now, that's not normal that they cannot have running water on reserve. We need to fix that, but it must not be imposed by Ottawa, a top-down bureaucratic decision.

You can save a lot of money when you have responsible and bold policies that are in line with our principles, and we are telling the truth to Canadians.

We are speaking to the intelligence of Canadians, not to their emotion.

You must believe in people. You must give back their money in their own pockets.

We cannot be the welfare state of the planet.

I have said many times that racist and bigots are not welcome in our party... The journalists who don't want to recognize this and keep coming back with questions of bigotry can just take a hike.

What I'm looking for is doing politics like I believe.

People like authenticity and I think I have the courage of my convictions and am authentic.

I'm very different from other politicians.

I may be a dreamer, but I think monetary economics should be a hot topic.

I hope that more Canadians will become interested in in how the inflation rate target affects our purchasing power, our standard of living and therefore our life.

Prosperity has nothing to do with the quantity of money that we have in our pockets, but rather with the quantity of goods that we can buy.

To stimulate the economy, we need to give entrepreneurs the means to create wealth.

In reality, every time the government takes an additional dollar in taxes out of someone's pocket, it's a dollar that person will not be able to spend or invest. When government spending goes up, private spending goes down. There is no net effect. No wealth creation.

I think it's motivating and exalting when we defend ideas that are at the foundation of western civilization.

I want to live in a society where everyone is treated equally and not defined by their race.

We Conservatives believe not in big, interventionist, centralized government. But in small and limited government, government as close to the people as possible.

A Constitution is not meant to be a flexible arrangement which evolves from one decade to another depending on political expediency.

When we tolerate violations to the Constitution, the entire moral foundation of our political system is shaken to its core.

They call me the Albertan of Quebec. It stuck.

I talk about economic freedom. I talk about capitalism without fearing the word.

You cannot build public policies on sentiment, on panic and fear.

You must build public policies on reason, on facts.

For me, I don't have to defend myself that I am not a racist. I won't go in that discussion.

We're not radical when we are speaking about fewer immigrants.

I don't want our country to be like other countries in Europe in having a challenge to integrate their new immigrants.

Diversity, it is good. This country has been built by diversity. But diversity in sharing of values? For me, it's not good.

A person that wants to come to our country must share our Canadian values.

Justin Trudeau is always saying diversity's our strength. It is not our strength.

I'm a kind of an entrepreneur.

I have people on Twitter that they know better my own platform than myself.

I believe in climate change.

You can shut down our economy and the effect on climate change, it will be nothing.

The free market, the people, will find solutions and they always did in the past.

A small group of motivated citizens can potentially have as much influence as a lobby group spending millions of dollars.

I know many Canadians are fed up with the traditional way of doing politics.

Some may remember that, in 2010, I publicly broke ranks with my colleagues from the Quebec City area who were pushing our government to subsidize a new sports amphitheater in the city. They had seized on this popular project to... What else? Buy votes.

A Conservative party that supports free markets should also advocate the end of corporate welfare.

The Conservative Party has abandoned conservatives.

Do we want to emphasize our ethnic and religious differences, and exploit them to buy votes, as the Liberals are doing? Or emphasize what unites us and the values that can guarantee social cohesion?

The politicians, they try to please everybody and when you want to please everybody, you won't please everybody. That's not my way of doing politics.

If you believe in free markets, I don't want to make any compromise with my principles and I think that's the right policy for Canadians and for Canadian consumers.

You have to stick to your principles and when you believe in something, to fight for it.

Brian Mulroney came to power in 1984 and privatized Petro-Canada, brought in the GST and signed the free trade agreement with the U.S. He was a great prime minister and made bold conservative changes. That's all I want to do.

Canadians are a compassionate people and we should be. But at what cost?

I believe in people, and you don't need to be a feminist for that.

We need new technology to fight climate change and that will come from the private sector.

I am saying to Canadians, there is no climate emergency in this country.

You know, I'm a free market politician and I think I'm the only one who worked for think-tanks like the Montreal Economic Institute.

I want to get rid of corporate welfare.
