==Successor==
Attempting to build on the success of the CSR content and messaging strategy for the 1999 election, Harris and the Ontario Tories branded their new policy document the "Blueprint" (Blue being the official colour of the party). The Blueprint followed the same theoretical framework as its predecessor, yet was tempered for a much different political environment.{{clarify|date=January 2015}} In 1995 the message had been "reform" and "revolution", but after four years of conservative government, the message became a balance between stability and emphasizing that there was still "much left to do". Though not as popular as the CSR, the Blueprint was part of a successful re-election campaign, allowing Harris to win another majority government.

Harris resigned as premier in 2002, and was succeeded by [[Ernie Eves]]. Through a variety of factors, including dissatisfaction with the effects of the government's platform policies, deterioration of municipal services after downloading, the [[Walkerton Tragedy]] during the CSR, and Eves' handling of the [[Northeast Blackout of 2003|Northeast Blackout]], the Progressive Conservatives were defeated in the [[2003 Ontario general election|2003 provincial election]] by [[Dalton McGuinty]] and the [[Ontario Liberal Party]].
