What new blood? All of the candidates are either Chretien or Martin-era cabinet ministers. “I think it is a good thing to get new blood into the Liberal pool.”

Perhaps the weeding out of "Liberals of Convience" and other such undiserables will do the party, and ultimately the country, some good (that is, if Stronach or Ignafief ..spelling on that one... don't get it). McKenna's resignation was procedural. As a Liberal appointee he obviously wouldn't have the full confidence of the new government. However until he is replaced he will remain in his capacity, so that work can go on until Harper gets his house in order. Basically McKenna did was was required for a smooth transition from one party to another, and likely would have done the same if Martin had not stepped down.
