Jean Charest spent the last official debate of the federal Conservative leadership race on Wednesday stressing that his experience as a political leader is what the party needs to unite.

But with six weeks left in the contest, the former Quebec premier, who once led the erstwhile federal Progressive Conservative party, would not say whether he plans to remain within the Conservative Party of Canada if another candidate is revealed as the winner on Sept. 10.

The Conservative party reported Wednesday that about 150,000 ballots have been returned so far ahead of the Sept. 6 deadline to vote. It estimates about 400,000 people are new to the party. Before the debate began, Charest, who had pushed the party to hold a third official debate, described the setup as “bizarre,” adding: “I've never seen anything like this.”

He also stressed that he is not afraid to stand up for his values, including against the Liberal's climate agenda.

Kinsella's team you mean. They can try to sell their CNN Hillary Clinton / Moneyball routine all they want. It's not going to work If Charest manages to win through some oblique process I fear for the future of the CPC. Many party members out west don't trust him one iota and it's hard to say if they'll support him come election time.
