Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
TORONTO — Approximately 1,500 Ontario Progressive Conservatives are gathered in Toronto to hone their election strategy, receive training, and hear a keynote address from leader Patrick Brown.
With just over six months before Ontario’s next provincial election, the opposition party will also present 139 broad policy resolutions that have been adopted by members.
Convention co-chairman Kevin Gaudet says the gathering will give Brown, who he acknowledges is still little known by most in the province, a chance to speak to a wide audience.
Gaudet says the convention won’t actually include much debate about policy, saying that has already occurred over the past 18 months within the party itself.
He says Brown will use the policy resolutions to develop the Tory election platform in greater detail in the coming months.
The policy resolutions adopted by party members range from statements like making “life more affordable for families with young children” to working “to expand all-season roads to remote communities in Northern Ontario.”
