What the prime minister doesn't seem to face is the election is either going to occur now or it's going to occur in January, ... We're not going to wait another four months.
I'm not sure anything has changed .... Mr. Layton is not happy with the proposals he's had. He's not been happy with them for a while. And I'm not sure what his next move is, but it seems to me that he's still looking for leverage to get more out of the government rather than let the Canadian people have their say,
I felt almost from Day One that we were doing what we wanted to do, getting our message out, and the surprise for me from early on was that the Liberals didn't seem to be doing that.
When we have an election, the government's record will be back on the radar.
We're going to create a distinct organization through legislation.
We have no alternative but to accept the checks; they're part of our system.
We're not going to try to force a vote unless we think we can win it.
We know we've run a good campaign. We've run the campaign we wanted to run and got our message out.
We have in office a corrupt party which now is ignoring the democratically expressed will of the House of Commons. This government does not have the moral authority and the constitutional authority to govern.
Our team is talented and diversified and reflects Canada and we will work hard for all Canadians. The Cabinet that I have put together is smaller, but it will be more focused and more effective.
Our party will make those decisions in our own way and in our own time,
I think one of the difficulties here is that the Liberal Party has been so badly run and has relied so long on taxpayers' money to supplement its activities that I don't think the Liberal Party has been able to pay for polling, to pay for these other things.
I think Mr. Martin is making a mistake talking about issues no one wants to talks about ... and instead not telling people why they should vote for his party.
I think things are looking up, but you don't know until people actually go into the voting booth.
