Liberals leave door open to propping up Tories

OTTAWA — Stéphane Dion says his caucus remains firmly committed to forming a coalition government with the NDP, but is leaving open the possibility of keeping the Harper government alive.

The Liberal Leader also said he retains strong support, despite public and private criticism over what was seen as an amateurish presentation on national television Wednesday night.

"Embarrassment, indignation, I'm the most angry of everyone," Mr. Dion said, describing reaction to his video response to Prime Minister Stephen Harper's address, which was delivered out of focus and too late for some stations to air.

"What happened there was unacceptable," he said. "It's something that I decided to have an inquiry about it to identify what was missing in terms of professionalism."
