Belinda Stronach added two more prominent Nova Scotian politicians to her endorsement list today. Most notable, Elmer MacKay, father of Peter MacKay, former Progressive Conservative leader, and one of the architects of the conservative merger.

"Belinda brings excitement and enthusiasm to the Conservative Party. It's time for the Conservatives to form government again. We need Belinda to take on the Martin-Chretien gang in the next election", said Elmer MacKay.

Elmer MacKay served served as solicitor general in Brian Mulroney's Tory government during the mid-eighties.

Belinda also added Murray Scott, Speaker of the Nova Scotia House
of Assembly to her list of supporters in Nova scotia.

"Belinda has consistently expressed her commitment to job creation and
economic growth," said Mr. Scott. "I am confident that she can win the next election, and that Nova Scotia's economy will benefit with Belinda as Prime Minister."
