Iggy #LPC: No #Fakelake, #Hoc MUST Get #Afgh Docs Now!

Ignatieff says Tories must release detainee documents Sounds good. We'll see. Otherwise, consequences.

Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff says the federal government must produce documents on Afghan detainees. He said a meeting set for Monday might reveal whether a deal can be reached. "We're kind of running the clock here and there's a question as to whether the government's ragging the puck," he said. "There's absolutely no reason why we can't get an agreement. I'm optimistic we can, but it's getting a bit late." The NDP and the Bloc have threatened to hold up millions in federal cash needed to pay for the G8 and G20 summits if the Conservatives don't release the documents. They said Friday they are prepared to forge ahead Monday or Tuesday with a process that could tie up the House of Commons and all its work until it rises for the summer. Ignatieff didn't rule out that option, but said he'll wait to see what happens Monday. "I'm not saying what I will or will not do," he said. "What other parties threaten is their business...We're looking for a constructive solution on Monday."
