Spoiler alert: principled leadership is defined by what happens when the cameras aren’t rolling.

Today, we unveiled the official portrait, and paid tribute to the remarkable legacy of, the Rt. Hon. @stephenharper, Canada's 22nd Prime Minister.

Under his leadership, Canada had a strong and prosperous middle class, affordable homes and food, and earned deep respect on the world stage.

It was an honour to serve as a Minister in his Cabinet, to learn from him, and to call him a friend.

On behalf of our Conservative team and all Canadians, thank you, Prime Minister Harper, for your decade of service to the Canadian people.

[Stephen Harper @stephenharper]

I sincerely hope that mine is just one of many portraits of Prime Ministers from both parties that will continue to be hung in the Parliament of Canada for decades and centuries to come […] but that will require that in these perilous times both parties whatever their differences, come together to preserve the independence and unity of this blessed land.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Today, we unveiled Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s official portrait in Ottawa.

Mr. Harper served as Prime Minister of Canada for nearly a decade — the sixth longest tenure in our history. In a political climate increasingly buffeted by noise, he brought composure, intellect, and decisiveness to public life.

He was a conviction politician. But he was also, when circumstances demanded, a pragmatist. He came to Ottawa as a balanced-budget conservative. Yet when the financial crisis struck, he did not let ideology prevent him from doing what was necessary to support the Canadian economy through the worst global downturn in generations.

Mr. Harper’s portrait, painted by Phil Richards, will soon take its place alongside those of Macdonald and Laurier, King and Diefenbaker, Trudeau and Mulroney. Builders of our country in the past, examples to our country for the future.

On behalf of all Canadians, I thank Mr. Harper for his remarkable service to Canada, and for the legacy upon which we are now called to build.
