It appears the threat of a summer election has been averted as sources said Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff had a "productive" meeting Tuesday.

According to CTV's Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife, the secret meetings will continue Tuesday evening before both leaders head back to their parties on Wednesday.

I can imagine a 'productive' meeting between Harper and Ignatieff...

Ignatieff agreed to hold off on an election call long enough for members to collect their six-years service, and Harper agreed to stop the attack ads on Ignatieff.

I doubt that stimulus measures, employment insurance, or medical isotopes even came up.
