| Description | OTTAWA — Stephane Dion says he will resign as soon as a new Liberal leader is chosen — likely Wednesday.
His announcement today clears the way for Michael Ignatieff to take over.
Liberals want a new leader in place before a vote on the federal budget Jan. 27 that could plunge the country into another election or replace the Conservatives with a coalition government.
Ignatieff is expected to be installed as leader Wednesday by a vote of party MPs and senators.
But his chief rival, Bob Rae, is not going down without a fight. |
