That is what has been blurred, ... Frankly, if the Government of Canada would sue the Liberal party, it would provide a wake-up call forever that that is not the same thing.
What really needs to happen is this culture of waste and mismanagement and corruption that the Liberal Party practices must end,
This culture of waste, management and corruption that the Liberal Party practices needs to end, ... I don't think it's going to end with a few firings. I think it's only going to end when we fire the government.
You've got to remember that west of Winnipeg the ridings the Liberals hold are dominated by people who are either recent Asian immigrants or recent migrants from eastern Canada: people who live in ghettoes and who are not integrated into western Canadian society.
Our experience suggests if we should again attempt to bring down the government, Mr. Layton would no doubt see our attempt as potential leverage in his negotiations with the Liberals as he has done on other occasions,

No one will ever be held responsible, not legally, not criminally, not politically, as long as this Liberal government is in power, ... A culture of waste, mismanagement and corruption is not going to fix itself.
As we end this week, we're campaigning in areas of the country that have been strong Liberal ridings, at least in the recent past, and I notice Mr. Martin is campaigning in Montreal, which was considered not too long ago the strongest set of Liberal ridings in the country. I think at this point that's an encouraging sign.
a substantial strengthening of the Liberal Party of Quebec.
