OTTAWA - Some quotes from a letter NDP Leader Tom Mulcair released Wednesday following the release of interim findings on the party's election campaign:

___

"The interim report already provides us with many insights that will allow us to learn from the mistakes of the last campaign and correct them for the future."

___

"The interim report provides a cogent summary of some of the specific lapses in the campaign preparation and execution. I agree with the overarching assessment that our campaign came up short. As leader, I take full responsibility for these shortcomings."

___

"Being ahead of the polls for the first half of the campaign and then falling back to third by election day only increased the disappointment among members, our candidates and myself. As a direct consequence, many experienced and passionate colleagues are no longer with us in the House."

___

"If members grant me the honour of continuing to serve them, I am determined to make the necessary changes so that mistakes of the campaign will never be repeated. Some of the changes have already started."
