Filmon was a long-time opponent of the accord, and was a fairly tepid supporter even after the renegotiated compromise was reached.
Subsequently, Filmon used the accord's failure to highlight differences between himself and Mulroney, who was becoming increasingly unpopular as Prime Minister.

Gary Filmon is being wooed for the Alliance leadership by none other than his former justice minister and Alliance MP, Vic Toews.
According to Toews, Filmon, in his 11 years as Manitoba premier, “kept control of a diverse caucus that included MLAs who supported both the Reform party and the Tories federally.” Toews is convinced that uniting the raucous Alliance with the cautious Clark Tories would be a piece of cake for the lion-taming ex-Manitoba Tory premier.
Filmon is but the latest of a string of Manitoba politicians and premiers to be called from their molehill mountain retreats to save the nation.

Before the election, Gary Filmon said he wouldn't know until after the polls had closed whether his party would pay a price for the vote-splitting scandal.
But even after the ballots were counted, Filmon refused to acknowledge the scandal had any effect on voter trust - even though there was a clear drop in popular support for the Tories, and most of the Liberal vote in Manitoba went to the NDP.
NDP leader Gary Doer was certain it was a factor in his success.

But instead of throwing knock-out punches at Gary Filmon's PC government which is widely blamed for poor health care in Manitoba, Dr. Gerrard limped to the attack with a 1995 Liberal promise to appoint a health ombudsman to address concerns such as long waiting lists for ultrasound.
Doer came out swinging early in the election with a promise to spend $15 million to end "hallway medicine" in Manitoba, a reference to overcrowded emergency wards where patients are left on cots in hallways because of a chronic bed shortage.
Filmon made his presence known early in the campaign when he uncorked the biggest promise of the election, a one billion dollar, five-year plan to cut taxes and increase funding for health care and education.
