Chair of Youth Caucus endorses Brian Topp to lead NDP

« I wanted to see the first all candidate debate before finalizing my decision, » said Morin. « What I saw confirmed that Brian has what it takes to lead the Party and defeat Stephen Harper ».

« As Chair of the Youth Caucus, I welcome Brian’s commitment to youth issues and to increasing the role of youth in the Party and the Caucus. His commitment to the arts and to the role artists play in our society is also something that contributed to my decision ».

« Brian’s deep understanding of the country and his practical experience in a successful NDP Government in Saskatchewan were important considerations in my decision », said Morin.

« I’m delighted to have Isabelle’s support » said Brian Topp. « She is an excellent MP and I look forward to working with her in caucus for many years to come. In a short time, Isabelle has won the respect and confidence of the young members of our Federal Caucus, who elected her as their Chair. At the same time, she has been working diligently to build her riding association, which has quickly become one of the biggest in Quebec ».
