With Pierre Poilievre taking the role of leader of the federal Conservative Party, many people may be curious to see what his next steps will be. Martin Shields, MP for Bow River, shared his views on this victory and what it means for the Conservative Party moving forward.

You may have seen in the news his ability to speak on his feet, his ability to speak in the House, to draw crowds, so I think all of those things are a continuation of his decisive win that as a caucus will be united in following the directions that he is going to set — one for the caucus and to the direction for the next election.”
