- Bill Walker, MPP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound
"I believe Patrick did the right thing in stepping down.
The polls continue to show that people are ready for a change of government and they have lost confidence in the Premier and her party.
We, as Caucus, need to remain focused and united and move forward to select the person best suited to lead us in to the election in June, and to earn the confidence of the people of the province. The team we have at Queen's Park is very solid and we have some very talented candidates running for us. The platform is solid and was developed by the team, and seems to be meeting with favour across the province. And, we have committed volunteers and supporters so we just need to be decisive, clear in our intent and make good decisions and execute with purpose going forward."
