New Gomery testimony spurs talk of election
CTV.ca News Staff

The possible collapse of the Liberal minority government is once again a hot topic on Parliament Hill, fuelled by reports of explosive new testimony at the sponsorship inquiry.

Although exact details of the testimony cannot be revealed due to a publication ban, there are reports its disclosure would prove so devastating that Paul Martin's Liberal minority could fall if it became public.

Watching developments in Ottawa Friday night, CTV's Mike Duffy says the capital is buzzing with speculation the opposition will confront the Liberals with some of that testimony next week.

"It's probably going to be raised here on Monday by the opposition," Duffy told CTV News.

"Because MPs have privilege on the floor of the House of Commons it is conceivable that the Bloc Quebecois could get up and run some information from behind the closed doors" at the Gomery inquiry, he said.

According to a report from The Canadian Press, the threat is looming so large all parties are quickly reviewing their election plans...

The liberals have had problems with political appeasment and infighting from the get go. The conservatives didn't even vote one way or another on Martin's budget a few weeks ago, and threatened to vote no along with the bloc and NDP back in the fall after Martin's throne speach. Their vote against the budget would have caused another election. This ad-scam thing has been around for years now - going back to Chretien.
