After a projected win for Liberals, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre addressed supporters in Ottawa Tuesday morning, suggesting he has no plans to step down as party leader.
While votes are still being tallied in some parts of the country, it is unclear as of 1:37 a.m. Eastern on April 29 whether the Liberals will form a majority or minority government.
“It will be an honour to continue to fight for you and be a champion for your cause as we go forward,” Poilievre said to a cheering crowd.
“I would like to congratulate Prime Minister Carney on leading this minority government. We will have plenty of opportunity to debate and disagree, but tonight we come together as Canadians.”
Here is the transcript of Poilievre’s remarks.

We could not be more proud.
