Foothills MP to focus on bringing down provincial barriers in 2017
LETHBRIDGE – As we end 2016, Foothills MP John Barlow is calling it a successful year, and one he thinks the Conservatives can build upon.
In a year end interview with Lethbridge News Now, Barlow explained that while his party is no longer in power, he is excited about the direction they’re heading in.
“I guess the biggest thing for me is the strength of the job that Rona Ambrose has done as our interim leader, I think she’s been exceptionally strong, she’s really kept our caucus together as the Conservative members of Parliament,” Barlow stated.
“We came into this – after the 2015 federal election – with a goal, and our goal was to be the strongest opposition in Canadian Parliamentary history, and I think we’ve been very close to that,” Barlow continued. “I think we’ve done a very strong and worthwhile work in terms of holding the Liberal government to account, and I’m really proud of the team, the 99 Conservative members of Parliament that we have in Ottawa, I think they’ve done an exceptional job.”
