It was a bittersweet federal election for Cariboo-Prince George Conservative MP Todd Doherty.
Doherty stated he will return to Ottawa with a renewed sense of motivation.
“We have a lot of work that we need to do. The numbers that are showing right now it will force Mark Carney and the Liberals that they are going to have to work with us.”
As for Doherty, he will continue to work across party lines to get more done, like he has done in the past.
