Transcript:

Thank you all for coming.

My name is Dr. Sushil Jain, and I am the Chair of the newly formed Candidate Nominating Committee of the Conservative Party of Canada of Windsor West. I am joined with CNC members Al Teshuba, Cameron Adamson, and Tony Francis, and with ready to serve committee alternatives Henry Lau and Rick Wilkinson.

First, I would like to congratulate our friends in our neighbouring ridings of the Ontario PC Party of Essex in electing Anthony Leardi last night, and to further extend our congratulations to Windsor-Tecumseh in acclaiming Andrew Dowie, earlier tonight. 

We are seeing Windsor-Essex getting ready to turn our region more BLUE!...by sending more regional conservative representatives to join Chris Lewis, in representing us in Ottawa and in Queen’s Park. 

These are exciting times, and we have terrific news to advance our regional Blue Wave!

Earlier this month, our committee met with our Regional Organizer Stephaine Cattrysse, to officially recognize our CNC, so we can begin our candidate search of qualified nomination contestants to become the next Windsor West CPC Candidate. All CNC members have pledged to be neutral throughout this process. Its role is as fair facilitators of this process, not as selectors.

Applications packages must be submitted to the National Party no later than 5PM ET, 14 days after Closing Notice is issued. Applicants approved by the National Candidate Selection Committee become official nominees who will then seek to win the majority of votes of Windsor West CPC members to be elected the Candidate. 

Our Candidate Nominating Committee would love to speak with anyone interested in seeking the nomination. As our Closing Notice could be issued any time, and the threat of a Spring election, we’d like any interested individuals to provide their statements, by January 15th, 2021 as campaign readiness is paramount.

Our Conservative Party grassroots nomination and candidate selection process is instrumental to our party’s success, and to our democratic fair and transparent guiding principles. Our Conservative brand and local support are growing in Windsor-Essex and we would be best served with more Conservative MPs representing our region, under the leadership of Erin O’Toole.

NOTE: The deadline for submitting a complete application to National Headquarters is 14 days after Closing Notice is issued, and the Executive Director issues the official Closing Notice. 

Anyone seeking more information about the nomination process, can contact myself CNC Chair- Dr. Sushil Jain, Sushil@WindsorWestCPC.com, 519-966-2474, or EDA Riding President - Al Teshuba, Al@WindsorWestCPC.com 519-259-9322

Thank you for your continued interest and support of our great Conservative Party and our Windsor West riding association.

The Honourable Andrew Scheer, Leader of Canada’s Conservatives and of the Official Opposition, issued the following statement:
 

“Since the beginning of this crisis, Conservatives have been focused on Canadians and getting them the support they desperately need.  We recognize that these are unprecedented times and that urgent action is needed.  Almost a million Canadians have already been laid off, stores and restaurants have been told to close their doors, and Canadians have been told to stay at home.  We also know that this crisis has hit our economy hard and that the months to come will be difficult.
 

“That is why Conservatives have been flexible in our approach, while also continuing to ensure government oversight.
 

“When we agreed to the extraordinary suspension of Parliament, Conservatives insisted that the government be subject to substantial accountability measures including that the Auditor General would audit any new spending, that parliamentary committees would be able to review all of that spending when Parliament resumes, that parliamentary committees could be recalled at any time, and that the government must immediately inform the Opposition of any spending and make it public within seven days.
 

“We also agreed to bring back the House of Commons this week with only a small number of Members present.  We were prepared to quickly pass the measures that the Prime Minister had announced to date.  What we were not prepared for was the government’s attempted undemocratic power grab.
 

“The Liberals shamefully tried to use a public health crisis to give themselves the powers to raise taxes, debt and spending without parliamentary approval until January 1, 2022.  But after hours of negotiation, the government has backed down.
 

“Conservatives have secured the following concessions: 

• We demanded that the government remove the section that would have allowed them to raise taxes without parliamentary approval.  They agreed.
• We demanded that the government walk back their unlimited spending powers and that special warrants expire on June 23, 2020 instead of September 30, 2020. They agreed.
• We demanded that the government include explicit reference to putting taxpayers’ rights first. They agreed.
• We demanded that the government put sunset clauses in their legislation.  They agreed.
• We demanded that the government be accountable to Parliament through regular reports to the House of Commons Health and Finance committees and that the Finance Committee have the right to recall Parliament if we identify any abuses. They agreed.

“Our effective Opposition has also gotten the government to reverse course on other policies.

“Conservatives called for stronger action to protect our borders and the government responded.  We asked about the impact of the border closure on the temporary foreign worker and seasonal agricultural worker programs and the government made exemptions.  We called on the government to stop the flow of illegal border crossers into Canada, particularly at Roxham Road, and the government listened.

“We will continue to use all of the tools available to us to hold the government to account.  And we will continue to use our strengthened Opposition to ask tough questions on behalf of Canadians and put forward constructive solutions to ensure that no one falls through the cracks.”

After an extensive review process from a nominee's campaign  appeal, our Windsor West CPC EDA has now received official confirmation  from National CPC HQ that this appeal has been ruled and the nominee  appeal process is officially over.
 

Our Windsor West CPC EDA will be making a public announcement of such on  Tuesday June 25th at 7pm at the Holiday Inn (1855 Huron Church Rd main floor conference room), with additional detail and to answer questions.
 

We will also declare and announce our official Windsor West CPC 2019 candidate Henry Lau, whom will speak right afterwards (along with the official CPC  candidates from our neighbouring ridings, Chris Lewis ESSEX and Leo  Demarce WINDSOR-TECUMSEH).
 

All media and public are welcome to attend. Doors open 6:45pm.

On April 28, 2019, the Youth Advocacy committees are inviting all youth  interested to the Windsor-Essex Youth Social and networking event  sponsored by the CPC Electoral District Association for Windsor West in  conjunction with the Ontario PC Electoral District Association for  Windsor West. The event will be hosted at the Udine Hall at the Fogolar  Furlan Club of Windsor at 1:30 PM to 6:00 PM. Tickets are only $20 for  youth under the age of 30 and $30 for all other guests. The event  includes a meal, an opportunity to network and presentations from  various community leaders such as the CPC candidate for Essex, Chris  Lewis and Minister of Provincial Parliament, Steve Lecce. 

This event will mark the beginning of the EDAs joint effort to reach  out to all youth in the community and to inspire them to engage in the  democratic process. Furthermore, the youth advocacy committees are  committed to facilitating discussion on the betterment of the region,  the province, the country and ultimately the globe. For this reason, the  youth advocacy committees seek to better understand the challenges  which face the community’s youth. In doing so, the youth advocacy  committees will be best prepared to advise candidates, as well as  visiting ministers of the Provincial and Future Federal governments.  Conclusively, the Youth Advocacy committees seek to do all in their  power to aid the youth in the community through its actions as a liaison  to both the CPC the Ontario PC and more broadly, the democratic process  of our nation.

We look forward to seeing you on the 28th!
