The latest response to my survey of Tory
leadership candidates is Andrew Scheer. I
would like to give a special thanks to James
Hawkes of the North Saskatchewan Branch
of the Monarchist League of Canada who
took it upon himself to remind Mr. Scheer
about my email(s). This project has taken
over my blog these last few months and I am
glad it is almost over. Mr. Scheer's reply:

"I have long believed that the Monarchy is an important part of Canada's past,
present and future. It provides a link to our past and provides continuity, stability,
and the preservation of our distinct Canadian identity. The Crown has an enduring
capacity to adapt to the interests of Canadian self-government and identity. It is
vital to our democratic system. The former Conservative government, Rideau Hall
and several provinces – with Saskatchewan in the lead – have made important
contributions towards public education about the Crown in recent years. We need
to continue these efforts. So, I encourage efforts to explore opportunities to elevate
understanding and appreciation of the Crown; to restore Canadians’ understanding
of its role in our democratic system and to remind ourselves of our history and the
role of the Crown in that journey. In my time as Speaker, I had the privilege of
travelling to the UK to attend to an audience with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
and present on behalf of the Canadian Parliament the Loyal Address and
Proclamation on the Birth of His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. It
was certainly a highlight of my career thus far."
I'm not sure if I can add anything to this. The quote stands
well on its own. I will say (again) that this kind of detail is the
reason I prefer direct replies. Moving on to other topics lets
see what has Mr. Scheer had to say about the monarchy while
in Parliament. As it turns out Mr. Scheer has mentioned the
monarchy a few times making note of her 90th birthday in
2016 and praying for her well-being during his time as
Speaker of the House.
Mr. Scheer also sent along a pdf (link below) detailing a trip
taken to the UK in 2014. The main purpose of the visit "was
to attend to an audience with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
and present on behalf of the Canadian Parliament the Loyal
Address and Proclamation on the Birth of His Royal
Highness Prince George of Cambridge."
Overall, Mr. Scheer's response has been a welcome surprise as
I wind down this project and begin focusing on the NDP
leadership race.
