Ignatieff says he could let Jack take lead
TORONTO -- Despite running attack ads questioning NDP Leader Jack Layton's judgment, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said he'd have no problems working with Layton if he was boss.
Ignatieff told reporters Sunday in Toronto that he sticks with what he's said all along -- he's willing to work with every political party, even if that means working with Layton in an NDP-led arrangement if that party wins more seats than the Liberals.
