OTTAWA - Michael Ignatieff is set to impose conditions on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to avoid a summer election.
The Liberal leader told his MPs today that Harper must make changes to the EI system before the House of Commons rises Friday.
Sources in the room said Ignatieff will also demand more information about stimulus spending and the ballooning deficit - and action on the medical isotope shortage.
They said Ignatieff stressed that he doesn't want an election, but added he must hold the government accountable.
The Liberals have an opportunity to bring a non-confidence motion against the minority Conservative government on Friday.
The NDP and Bloc Quebecois have already said they would vote against the government.

And so it begins....
And once again Iggy shows that he's only in it for himself.
''The Liberal leader told his MPs today that Harper must make changes to the EI system before the House of Commons rises Friday.''
Ummm, no he didn't.
He asked Harper to reveal the changes to EI, and not bringing them in until fall was ok.
Confucius say...
Man with small bladder shouldn't start pissing match.
Or perhaps more relevant...
Party with small war chest shouldn't threaten election.
Ignatieff has been doing a good job of filling Liberal coffers, but he still has a long ways to go. Until he does, he's all bark.
