DescriptionOTTAWA - The anticipation of what he called a "historic" and "very exciting day" kept Canadian Alliance Leader Stephen Harper from sleeping, he said on Thursday.

Harper joked with reporters at the start of a news conference where he and Tory Leader Peter MacKay announced their parties had reached an agreement in principle to unite under one banner in time for the next election.

"It's like Christmas," Harper said. "I have a reputation of not getting excited too often, but I actually had difficulty sleeping last night."

The two leaders unwrapped what they would both call a gift to the Canadian people: a new conservative party to be called, of all things, the Conservative Party of Canada.
