We're not going to try to force a vote unless we think we can win it.
Anything is possible, isn't it... but people don't invest that amount of money on speculation about a government decision unless they have pretty good reason to believe it is going to occur.
I don't think we can ever be sure we will have Mr. Layton's votes unless he is in on the motion itself. And to this point he's indicated no willingness to do 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.
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.
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.
