“Within minority Parliaments, the Prime Minister must understand that he cannot govern alone. Canadians did not give the Conservatives a majority. They elected a minority parliament, which calls on parties to find common ground and work together where possible ... The choice is yours, Mr. Harper. You can choose to work with other parties, or you can choose an election. In either case, New Democrats are ready.”
