| Description | Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff will take the weekend to weigh the Conservatives' second economic progress report before announcing whether his party will try to trigger an election, CBC News has learned.
The NDP and Bloc Québécois immediately denounced the progress report and indicated Thursday they would vote against Prime Minister Stephen Harper's minority Conservative government.
A spokesman for Ignatieff told CBC News the Liberal leader will use the weekend to read the report and consult with people on the party's next move before announcing his decision on Monday.
The earliest date the opposition parties could present a no-confidence motion and defeat the Tories in the House of Commons is next Friday, when MPs are slated to vote on the latest round of spending estimates in support of the government's economic recovery plan.
On Thursday, Ignatieff criticized the Tories' report for what he said was a lack of transparency in showing whether stimulus money is actually reaching Canadians. |
