| Description | Michael Fortier, the new Conservative cabinet minister who had to be appointed to the Senate because he didn't run in the Jan. 23 election, indicated some lingering doubt Tuesday about accepting his new job.
A day after his surprise appointment as minister of public works and government services in Ottawa, Fortier told reporters: "I didn't run in the election because I didn't want to run in the election."
He had a "great career" in Montreal and five young children, he said, but Conservative Leader and prime minister-designate Stephen Harper called, and he decided to take the job after talking to his wife. |
