Just like they do in Quebec.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Entzoa she never did that a year ago when the libs lost 3 such votes why would she now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-1145469057051344272006-04-19T13:50:00.000-04:002006-04-19T13:50:00.000-04:00The NDP won't vote against it.

Harper is negotiating with the provinces not to claw this allowance back from welfare recipients. <BR/>The BLOC hate the fact that the Feds are meddling in provincial matters which day care is. They just want money with no strings attached as Quebec already has a day care plan. The Qubec system, however, only benefits 7% of children using day care with wait lists yars and years long. <BR/>Quebec might be interested in Federal bucks to build new spaces which the province manages like they do now.<BR/>The point that this is provincial jurisdiction is being made by many provinces.

It'd make for an interesting scenario, however -- can't remember the last time we had an "interim" Prime Minister while waiting for the leadership convention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-1145413058053568002006-04-18T22:17:00.000-04:002006-04-18T22:17:00.000-04:00The GG does not have to issue an election writ.

Even if Harper goes to her and advises an election, SHE makes the decision and, if the country has had too many elections or, if the cost of yet another election is likely to create a burden, she can go to the leader of HM Opposition and ask if he can form a government. If he can, then HE is appointed Prime Minister. <BR/><BR/>The problem, of course, is that the Conservatives would do everything in their power to bring the government down. <BR/><BR/>My take on Harper's threats... Bring 'em down! We have nothing to loose by doing it.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203592149876300192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-1145409356864042762006-04-18T21:15:00.000-04:002006-04-18T21:15:00.000-04:00I've heard that theory alot.
