Voters elect NDP MP in Outremont
MONTRÉAL – Following a strong show of support in Monday's by-elections, NDP Leader Jack Layton and NDP MP-elect Thomas Mulcair (Outremont) spent the morning mainstreeting and thanking voters in Outremont.
“People in Outremont sent us a clear message yesterday: they want peace, they want a cleaner environment and they want leadership and fairness,” said Mulcair. “The election campaign is over, but my work is just beginning. Quebecers are now standing with the NDP and together, we can fight to take on the growing prosperity gap.”
Mulcair and Layton held a press conference today in Outremont.
“Outremont voted for change. They told us that they can't trust Stephen Harper and that the Bloc is no longer an option, they simply can't get things done for Quebecers,” said Layton. “We worked hard to elect Thomas to the House of Commons and we know he's going to be bringing Outremont’s priorities to Ottawa.”
