"Senators have an abiding obligation to treat government legislation expeditiously," said Liberal Justice Minister David Lametti.

Rona Ambrose could have delivered a new, unifying message, Scott Thompson says, but now it will be left up to other candidates to sell a new Conservative vision.

Ambrose said she intends to remain involved but focus on private-sector work.

"Yes, Mr. Harper has left his position on the Conservative Fund," said a Conservative spokesperson.

About 20 people from across the country gathered to present O'Toole with a plan to win the upcoming Tory leadership contest following Andrew Scheer's resignation.

The survey found that Ambrose and former Conservative minister Peter MacKay were the top choices.

Brad Wall said Friday he's honoured people are thinking of him, but he's finished with elected politics and is enjoying life in the private sector.

Rona Ambrose, who was interim Conservative leader says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did make some concessions to get a deal -- particularly offering up some limited access to Canada's supply-managed dairy sector -- but also made some important gains.

"We are fully committed to introducing this legislation if re-elected," said a spokesperson for the justice minister.

Federal politicians from across party lines praised Bill C-337 as it unanimously passed in the House — more than two years ago.
