Hello, my friends. You know, as I look out across this room, I have just one question: How’s the Liberal Party doing tonight? Now, sit down. Now, I can imagine that you’re all expecting me to stand up and talk about all that we’ve accomplished together. And don’t get me wrong, I am damn proud of what we’ve done over these past 10 years for the middle class and people working hard to join it, but tonight, tonight is about our future as a party, as a country.
