People’s Party of Canada (PPC) Leader Maxime Bernier says he is hopeful support will grow for his party this election, dismissing charges that the party is splitting the conservative vote.

“This party is there for the long term. What we are doing, it’s a quiet revolution, and we know you cannot have a revolution in one election,” Bernier said in an interview. “I’m pretty sure that we’ll grow a percentage of the vote, for sure, at this election.”
