Description | The leaders of the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservatives announced the official creation of the new Conservative Party of Canada on Monday.
Tory leader Peter MacKay and Alliance leader Stephen Harper said the new party was registered with the chief electoral officer on Sunday.
"The new Conservative Party of Canada exists. It lives, it breathes as of today," MacKay said at a news conference.
Progressive Conservative Senator John Lynch-Staunton, Leader of the Opposition in the Senate since 1993, will be interim leader until a new Conservative Party leader is elected in March.
