“There’s a lot of things that need to be fixed, so that’s my focus. What kind of policies do we need to see our country get moving again,” Zimmer said. 

Specifically, Zimmer pointed to the resource sector and the economy, and the importance of improving both these and more. 

Zimmer stated he is hoping for a spring election once the federal government and the House of Commons return to session in January.

“[The Conservative Party is] just fighting to get to the start line. And once we hopefully win that election, then we have to get to work and get the work done,” Zimmer said.
