Byelections heat up with the launch of Marc Garneau’s campaign

The campaign to elect three new Members of Parliament in Ontario and Quebec picked up steam this week with an official kick-off celebration for Westmount--Ville-Marie candidate Marc Garneau.



"The Liberal Party of Canada is the only truly progressive voice in the country," said Liberal Foreign Affairs Critic Bob Rae, who had the honour of introducing Mr. Garneau to the enthusiastic crowd of supporters. "And in this byelection in Westmount--Ville-Marie, Marc is the only real candidate for change, social progress and innovation."



Mr. Garneau re-affirmed his commitment to progressive Liberal values.



"My vision of Canada is one of a progressive country that is fiscally responsible, a country that takes a leadership role on the international stage when it comes to the environment and human rights, a country that is just as competitive and innovative as the very best in the world and a country that is compassionate, tolerant and one of social justice," said Mr. Garneau.
