NDP to Support Conservatives

Don't expect the NDP to help the Liberals topple the Harper government this week.

Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty says there's too much at stake that helps unemployed Canadians to force an election at this time.

"We're interested in seeing these E.I. reforms through," says Rafferty, "and we'll be prompting the government to continue with some of our suggestions such as pension reform which they have indicated this past week that they're going to do. So we're interested at least for the next little while in keeping this government going."

Rafferty adds yesterday's economic update from the Prime Minister did not indicate how much infrastructure money has been spend, but isn't an issue that should force an election.
