With only a few days left as interim leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Candice Bergen has announced she’s not going to run again in the next general election — which may not be called for some time. She was first elected in 2008.
Interim Conservative leader Candice Bergen rises to speak during question period in the House of Commons on Feb. 8.
With only a few days left as interim leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Candice Bergen announced she’s not going to run again in the next general election. “Serving the constituents of Portage-Lisgar for 14 years has been the honour of my political life, and I am eternally grateful to have had the opportunity to be their voice in the House of Commons,” she tweeted on Tuesday.
“I’ve learned so much and have been able to have an impact for my constituents and party because of the individuals I’ve served with. I’m grateful to leaders like the Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper who promoted me first to the position of parliamentary secretary and then to a minister of state in his cabinet.”
