Brian Mulroney’s frontbench top three

The former prime minister picks his three stars.

Instead the Mulroney honours go to Government House Leader John Baird, Liberal foreign affairs critic Bob Rae and NDP Leader Jack Layton. He feels they are the three best “performers” in the House.

… Mr. Milnes said Mr. Mulroney gave his assessment in the “context of how important it is for a leader – or any effective politician – to inspire a crowd or the Commons itself.”
