Ontario’s Progressive Conservative Party is ready to turn the page.

With just 11 days left until a new party leader is announced, Interim Leader and Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli said it’s time to move on from the distractions surrounding former leader Patrick Brown, who ended his bid to regain the leadership yesterday.

“We are now ready to move on from focusing on any one individual and to focus on the task at hand,” he told a media conference at Queen’s Park.

Fedeli says that task is defeating the Liberals.

He says they have four candidates that are all ready to do just that.

“Families need a PC Party who will offer a fresh alternative to the tired, untrustworthy, politically corrupt Wynne Liberals,” he says.

The four leadership hopefuls take part in another debate tomorrow in London.

Fedeli would not answer questions related to his decision to turf Brown from the party caucus earlier this month, nor would he say whether Brown will be allowed to run as a Tory candidate in the province’s spring election.

While acknowledging that the last 10 days have been “unprecedented in Ontario politics,” Fedeli nonetheless insisted the party has never been in better shape and is ready to form government.
