Thornhill MPP supports Frank Klees for Leader
(Queen?s Park) Thornhill MPP Peter Shurman today pledged his complete support to Newmarket-Aurora MPP Frank Klees in the current Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership race.
?The objective is good government, which by definition means the end of the Liberal scourge. With that in mind, my decision was clear. I chose the best candidate to defeat Dalton McGuinty and lead the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party to victory in 2011,? said Shurman.
?All of my colleagues who have declared their candidacy bring notable credentials to the table, which will ensure an exciting leadership race,? Shurman added. He stressed however, that the next three months are a dress rehearsal for the Premiership of Ontario.
?Defeating fellow candidates is far less the issue than ridding Ontario of a hapless, inept government; rejuvenating Ontario business; raising employment and hope; and giving every man, woman, and child a great present and the future we all deserve."
Shurman will be playing a key role in the next twelve weeks working to ensure Klees' leadership win, following which he is looking forward to swinging into election mode and the road to a PC Government with Frank Klees at the helm.
