Somewhere Stephane Dion chuckles and mutters to himself

Thomas Mulcair, asked yesterday by a reporter why he didn’t respond to the Prime Minister’s "dumb idea" challenge in the House.

What I was preparing is questions for the prime minister was on the economy. If the Conservatives want to lie, I’m going to rely on Canadian journalists to show that they’re lying. I’m not going to do that in the House. My goal today was not to take bait, my job was to take the debate to the Conservatives on the failings on the economy and that’s what I’m going to continue to do.
