Brown believes the new composition of Parliament is a continuation of the Constitutional Referendum during which Canadians finally became fed up with elitist politicians talking down to them. "Those days are gone," said Brown, explaining that the disparate viewpoints which will be voiced must be listened to. _ On Tuesday momning, Brown was still re\;elling in her win and said she didn‘t even mind all the microphones, cameras and reporters from the night before.

Brown was gracious and calm during her acceptance speech, telling the crowd that when the Liberals assume power they will sell a message of comâ€" munity and of helping one another â€" not harp on the Mulroney "bogeyman" of the deficit. While she says she‘s looking forward to working with other Liberal MP‘s, Brown maintained they don‘t have a monopoly on good ideas and will be open to suggestions from the other parties.
