Stephen Harper addressed CNP members in 1997 at its meeting in Montreal,[3] where the group reportedly conceived of the Republican effort to impeach President Clinton.[4] Addressing the elite group is no small feat, given that guests may only attend meetings with the unanimous consent of the Executive Committee.[5] Since Mr. Harper’s address, links between Conservative Party members and groups sponsored by the CNP like Focus on the Family, Concerned Women for America, the Christian Coalition of America and the National Rifle Association have grown. In turn, these groups have taken an increasingly forthright role in influencing Canadian politics through radio broadcasts, Canadian affiliates, and training for grassroots advocacy efforts in support of Conservative Party candidates.
