Summary of Stephane Dion's speek to the reporters

Liberal Leader Stephane Dion spook to reporters after meeting with his Quebec caucus in Montreal on Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2007. Dion set four demands for the upcoming speech from the Throne, saying his party will vote against it unless the Conservatives meet his party’s requirements. Dion’s requirement of the Harper’s government are Bill 30 on climate change, ending poverty and helping families, international economic concerns and the Canadian mission in Afghanistan. He also warned repeatedly of Harper's "hidden agenda and said Canada under a Conservative majority government would be akin to the U.S. under George Bush or the U.K. under Margaret Thatcher.” According to the CTV’s Chief Political Correspondent Craig Oliver there won’t be an election, for a number of reasons, such as the outcome of the three by-elections in Quebec, which Liberal cam up with empty handed. NDP and Bloc have both made demands of the Throne Speech and it is impossible for the government to meet, and it is left up to Liberal. More here
