Description | NDP Leader Jack Layton said his party won't support the Liberal government in any new non-confidence vote as he rejected a Liberal proposal to protect public health and opened the door for a possible Christmas election.
"What the government is proposing is unacceptable," said Layton during a speech in Toronto. "There's no basis for our party to express confidence in this government."
He had said his decision whether to support the Liberals in a future confidence vote rested on the Liberal response to an NDP call for increased protections for public health care.
The earliest date for such a motion is Nov. 15.
The time to let Canadians judge the Liberals is approaching "sooner, not later," said Layton, who didn't give any further indication of a time frame. |
