The only reason Dawson is asking any questions is to answer letters given to her by the opposition.  The Conservatives are further confused that the Liberals are better at the game under rules that should have starved them for access to cash and power.  In addition, the CPC believed that they had broken into the immigrant vote with Jason Kenney's efforts.  Under Harper, Big Oil was to fund the CPC maintenance of power.  What they got was:  ignorance of the rise of China and India, "shirt-fronting" Putin to satisfy the knuckle draggers and an ideological tour of a bird sanctuary in Israel.  And as for the NDP, they should look back on which time they collected  on a collaboration with the Conservatives.  It's no wonder that the Parties can't find a leader amongst themselves.  Now O'Leary is thinking of throwing his name in the wringer at the CPC..  only if he can do it with the CPC's money and with the complete backing of the caucus.  That's a business man without confidence..
