The Green Party candidate in Provencher says people need to consider voting for him if they want integrity restored in government. Jeff Wheeldon says he is appealing to the many people who no longer vote because they are disgusted by the behaviour of Members of Parliament.

"A lot of people feel sort of disgusted and worn out by our current government. There's been corruption, scandal, heckling in the House (of Commons), nasty partisan politics and that makes a lot of people just say, enough, and they just stop participating. The difference that a Green candidate makes is that we've all signed on to the Green candidates' pledge which is to conduct ourselves with integrity, treat others with respect, to publish all of our expenses, to conduct ourselves with civility in the House and never heckle and to keep the interests of our constituents and our country ahead of partisan politics."

Wheeldon adds the Green Party is the only one giving significant attention to issues like developing clean energy, health care, tuition costs, honouring treaties with First Nations and a national senior's strategy. He adds this message is resonating with two groups of voters.

"After the all candidates forum (in Steinbach), I was surrounded pretty quickly by young people, high school students, college students. Definitely the youth tend to appreciate our perspective and our vision. They're looking for something that's a little bit more ambitious than what the other parties are offering because they know that they are going to be the ones who inherit whatever the current generation of government leaves them. But I've also found that there are quite a few seniors who are very interested in what we're talking about, largely for the same reason; they know that they're going to leave Canada in a state that our youth will inherit and they want to be really proactive about that and make sure that they're leaving a really good legacy in terms of the state of our national government."

He urges people to get out and vote Monday and to carefully consider what kind of government they want in the future.
