TORONTO - This week, Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario Leadership candidate Vic Fedeli conducted an extensive survey about how to restore pride and strengthen the party. The survey evaluated support for five constitutional amendments that he had introduced earlier this summer.
"It's clear that there is a very strong sentiment that the Party’s constitution needs to be reformed," said Fedeli. "People agree we must have more accountability and trust between the Leader, Caucus, Party Executive, and Membership. For that reason, I proposed constitutional amendments that will move our party toward these objectives. I intend to bring these forward at the next possible constitutional session."
Of the 1,200 who completed the survey over a four day period, the response in support of Fedeli's constitutional amendments was overwhelming. The responses signalled a broad desire for real and meaningful change.

Overall, 90.7% of survey respondents agreed that constitutional reform is necessary to restore pride and trust in the Progressive Conservative party.
"It is clear that there is a broad desire to respect our members, restore trust and build a broadly inclusive party," said Fedeli. "For that reason, I will continue to fight for these values we hold dear in order to restore pride in our party. When we make the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario better, that's how we will win. And that's how together we can make Ontario First."
