Election Talk in Ottawa

Election talk is springing up again in Ottawa.

As MP's started their Christmas Break, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff suggested Canadians are ready for an election.

But Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty disagrees

"I'm certainly ready and the NDP is ready for an election," says Rafferty, "but I don't want an election. I don't hear a lot of people in the riding clamouring for an election."

Kenora MP Greg Rickford says while the opposition has been chomping at the bit to force a spring vote, the government has been more focused on improving the economy of Canada.
