- He characterized the party as an "exclusive private club" more concerned with ideology than building the broad coalition needed to defeat the NDP and serve British Columbians.
- His conservative values—including responsible fiscal management and free enterprise—remain unchanged as McInnis plans to communicate more with constituents in the near future.
