MacKay suggested that the major impetus for his entry in federal politics were his frustrations with the shortcomings in the justice system, particularly his perception that the courts do not care enough about the impact crime has on victims.
MacKay was one of a handful of newly elected "Young Turk" PC MPs (along with John Herron, André Bachand and Scott Brison), who were under 35 years of age when elected and considered the future leadership material that would restore the ailing Tories to their glory days.
From the early onset of the campaign, MacKay insisted that he was "not a merger candidate," and that his primary goal upon assuming the leadership, would be rebuilding the fractured conservative movement from within the PC tent.

And if we're to believe Harper and Peter MacKay when they were folding their Alliance and Progressive Conservative parties together for the Conservative entity, Stronach had an important role in helping foster the union.
Whenever a leader plucks someone from the other side or from private life and gives them some prominent position, it must be disenchanting for those dedicated members who slog it out with their allegiance intact and unwavering.
