"We will be spending time talking". I'm not from Canada but when a country is already in a recession for a longer period of time you could expect that each government would already be talking. So why do they (the new government) need to spend more time on talking? Or is the view of the 2 national parties that far apart that all needs to be done again? I'm from Holland and we are "used" here that parties search for compromises despite the fact that hold different point of views. Regards Jean
