Tories launch TV ads

Last Updated: Sunday, December 4, 2005 | 5:06 PM ET

CBC News
The Conservatives have released the party's television ads aimed at wooing Canadian voters.

The ads featuring Leader Stephen Harper appeared on the Conservatives' website Sunday in advance of their airings Monday.

While the Liberals are trying to make voters in the Jan. 23 election fearful, the Conservatives are emphasizing hope, Tory campaign co-chair John Reynolds said in a release.

The ads show Harper talking to what appears to be a TV interviewer, and taking questions from people who represent the public.

They focus on crime, political corruption and tax cuts.

"We'll make sure deported criminals actually leave the country," Harper says in one ad.

In another, he says, "the first thing I'll do" is pass an act to clean up government.

In the third, he repeats his promise to cut the goods and services tax.
