I have never been bribed as a Prime Minister.

It is understandable. But there is something bigger at stake for the government: its ability to modernize the political system.

Yeah, well I'm not aspiring to be the Prime Minister.

I'd be prouder still to say I was Canada's 10th woman prime minister.
