Canadians can be proud of their country and its achievements. Working together we have built a nation that is prosperous and safe; a land where merit trumps privilege; a place where people from around the world live in harmony; a federation that is united at home and respected abroad.

Strong leadership delivers more than it promises, rather than promising more than it can deliver. So we promise Canadians simply this: a better Canada for all of us.
