SUDBURY, ONTARIO (NEWS1130) - The federal Liberals say they will introduce a non-confidence motion in the House of Commons in early October, a move that is expect to force a fall election. Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff says Prime Minister Stephen Harper's "time is up'' and the Liberals will no longer support the minority Conservative government.
In a campaign-style speech to caucus members in Sudbury, Ontario, Ignatieff slammed Harper for presiding over the worst unemployment in two decades and plunging Canada back into a huge deficit. He also says the government has failed to protect the most vulnerable and defend health care.
Liberal foreign affairs critic Bob Rae says the Liberals will take the first opportunity they have--likely in early October--to bring down the minority Tories, after giving the Conservatives 10 months to "get their act together".
Ignatieff says a Liberal government has a "vision for rebuilding the Canadian economy,'' including expanding trade with huge emerging markets in China and India. And he promises a government that will bring Canadians together, rather than divide them. Rae says the party is ready for an election.
