    Sources confirm those days are coming to an end as he prepares to take an active role in promoting foreign policy causes, including advocacy for Israel and maternal, child and newborn health.

    He’s also expected to join corporate boards.

    Harper has kept a low profile in the House of Commons since Parliament resumed with a Liberal government.

    He’ll be making what’s likely to be his final public speech to the Conservative party at their convention in Vancouver on Thursday.

    OTTAWA — The federal Conservative party may have lost the October 2015 federal election, but its fundraising machine remains the king of the hill.

    First quarter data released by Elections Canada show the federal Conservatives raked in almost $5.5 million through the first three months of 2016, more than the Liberals and New Democrats combined.

    The governing Liberals collected just over $4 million — but may take some comfort in beating the Conservatives in the absolute numbers of donors who chipped in.
