ü     Glen Boschman (Saskatoon) Law-abiding gun owner (for target practicing) and hunting:

ü     Elsie Wayne former Conservative MP Saint John, former Interim Leader and Deputy Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, former Deputy Leader of the new Conservative Party:

       issues in the Parliament of Canada.”

ü     Stephen Harper Conservative MP Calgary Southwest, Leader of Conservative Party, former Leader of the Canadian Alliance Party:

“I can endorse Maurice Vellacott because he has been a dedicated, hard-working member of the House of Commons Aboriginal Affairs Committee, in Ottawa and as they’ve held hearings across the country.  Maurice was selected by his colleagues to be the Vice-Chair of that Committee for the fourth time. Maurice takes nothing for granted and will energetically devote himself to campaigning as we head into the next election.”

ü     Stockwell Day Conservative MP Okanagan-Coquihalla, former Leader of the Canadian Alliance Party:
