Statement of interest

Thomas Mulcair talks to reporters in Montreal.

“It’s been a tough week, with the departure of my dear colleague and mentor,” the NDP House Leader told reporters Tuesday before giving a speech to students at McGill University. “I’m getting a lot of support, a lot of interest. And not just in Quebec, where the support is extremely strong. It’s too early to say anything other than the fact I’m thinking about it, and I’m flattered by the support.”
