Last night's federal election saw a new MP elected in Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa.

Dan Mazier will carry the Conservative colours to Ottawa, to face a Liberal minority government. Mazier says it's a good feeling, and is humbling.

"When people decide to come out, to actually vote for you, and to actually conduct a campaign in a proper manner takes lots and lots of volunteers, and the amazing to put together," he says. "And we've got that thanks largely due to my campaign manager Bob Edmondson and the rest of the crew, it fell into place, and it was great."

Mazier tells us what's on the horizon for him now.

"We had three campaign offices in this riding," he says. "So that's the first thing we're going to do, is start dismantling them. Then I guess I wait to see what Ottawa decides what they're going to do, and when we start reporting back into there. So the next 24 to 48 hours I imagine there'll be lots of machinery going on in the nation's capital."

Mazier plans to ensure constituents' voices are heard, and will operate in their best interests.

"I'm going to approach it a lot like I did with Keystone Agricultural Producers," he says. "That policy is a mechanism of things that we have in our democratic society that makes things work very nicely, but you always have to be aware of how these policies impact you, and if they impact you a good way or a bad way you've got to really understand that, and explain it back to the constituents."
