Hoback, Baird talk Scheer as leader after tour of Diefenbaker House
Former Foreign Minister John Baird and Prince Albert MP Randy Hoback are confident in newly elected Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer.
These comments came after Baird passed through Prince Albert for a tour of the John Diefenbaker House Saturday afternoon with Hoback and Mayor Greg Dionne.
Scheer, the former House of Commons Speaker and Member of Parliament for Regina – Qu’Appelle, edged a narrow victory over rival Quebec MP Maxime Bernier to take the helm of the party on May 27.
“I look at Andrew Scheer and I look at Saskatchewan, we have 14 ridings in Saskatchewan, and I think they are all going to go Conservative the next time around,” Hoback said. Hoback had previously voiced support for Ontario MP Erin O’Toole in the race.
