Andrew Scheer

The foundation of our democracy is the ability to have a debate about any subject. That is why I am so committed to defending free speech.

We all have an obligation to pass on a better environment to our kids.

I've got five kids. I want them to have a cleaner environment.

I will withhold federal funding from universities that shut down debate and can't stand different points of view.

Nobody believes that Justin Trudeau is trying to save taxpayers' money.

Every country in history that has gone down dark paths, where governments take on too much control and really intervene and take away those freedoms, often start with an attack on the freedom to disagree.

I was probably that obnoxious kid in first-year university who would try to win a political debate by just, you know, being belligerent.

I like to think I'm a nice guy.

We've shown Canadians that, when we have a strong message and when we stick to our principles, Conservatives can win anywhere.

I'm proud to say that we are the party of Canada's first prime minister, the father of our federation, and the visionary who made this land possible.

We have to be vigilant against protectionism and be constantly making the argument for free trade.

I've always been very passionate about issues. Being speaker, you kind of have to park the positions on issues and focus more on the rules.
