Ottawa: Conservative leadership candidate Tony Clement returned his answers today to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation's (CTF) Top Ten Policy Questions. The CTF sent its questionnaire to the three Conservative Party leadership contenders last week and requested responses be returned by Friday, March 5. Responses from candidates Stephen Harper and Belinda Stronach were returned to the CTF earlier this week.

The questionnaire to the potential future Prime Ministers seeks to establish where the individuals stand in relation to long held CTF advocacy positions. A word limit of 150 words was set for each question. Mr. Clement's responses, along with those of Mr. Harper and Ms. Stronach, can be found on the CTF's website: www.taxpayer.com.

The CTF is Canada's largest taxpayer advocacy organization with over 65,000 supporters. Established in 1990, it is a federally incorporated not-for-profit, non-partisan, organization. The CTF is dedicated to lower taxes, less waste, and more accountable government.
