OTTAWA_ NDP Leader Jack Layton was having a face-to-face meeting with the prime minister Tuesday.

It was likely to be the first tango in a series of political dances aimed at avoiding a fall election.

Rick Boychuk, Layton's communication's director, said his boss was to meet with Prime Minister Stephen Harper to talk about the NDP's ``legislative agenda'' with the goal of making Parliament work.
