Stephen Harper Time Quotations

We were committed at the time of the convention, and through the last debate, to put a free vote to the next Parliament on this issue, ... It will be a genuinely free vote when I am prime minister. I will not whip the cabinet; cabinet can vote as they want.

Most of the time they don't even admit a problem exists, ... They point to selective statistics of crime going down.

Obviously I've tried my best within a small cabinet to try to represent all these different balances while at the same time obviously taking into account the skills and experience of individuals.

I always took the view and still take the view that we weren't going to pressure Peter, that this was an important decision, he should take some time to make it.

We can win because it is time for a change, time to move forward, time to get beyond the scandals and investigations and corruption.

I've said for a long time that the Kyoto Protocol won't succeed in achieving its objectives and that this government, our Canadian government, can't achieve the objectives.

This minister and this government had 12 years to complete these reviews. Their time is done,

That is how I want my time in public office to be. I'm here to do a job. I'm not here to join a club. I'm not here to buy into a lifestyle.
