[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 155092, member: 35"] A little known Sikh businessman from Nova Scotia visited Surrey on Friday as part of his bid to become leader of the New Democratic (NDP) party. With passing of former leader Jack Layton in August an election for the leadership of the NDP will occur on March 24, 2012. The winner of the election will become Leader of the Official Opposition. Singh a pharmacist and businessman who resides with his wife and three children in Musquodoboit Harbour, Nova Scotia announced his candidacy one week ago. In the federal NDP, Martin is the President of the Faith and Social Justice Commission and has four degrees and an MBA from Saint Mary’s University. He was born Martin Hill and converted to Sikhism and is an active member of the faith and the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves. He also volunteers on a number of non-profit boards at the local, regional, and national level. Singh met with the media at a press conference at the Grand Taj Banquet Hall in Surrey on October 14 and explained why he is running. “If you are wondering whether I am an idealist. I am. I am also, however, a pragmatic realist who knows we need practical and workable plans to achieve our goals. There are four policy areas that form the reason for my leadership bid. They include entrepreneurship and business, health care and a national pharmacare plan, the environment, and leadership itself,” he said. “We need a national strategy to support and encourage innovation and entrepreneurship.
