Conservative leader Stephen Harper said that he would not attempt to form a Government if another party won a majority of seats in the elections and his party came in second place.
In an interview exclusive with CBC Peter Mansbridge was released Thursday afternoon, Harper said that if Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff or the leader of the NDP, Jack Layton, won the election, but were unable to win the confidence of the House, he would not attempt to try to take power.
"They will form the Government," said Harper.
"I think that if the other guys win, they get a shot to the Government, and I do not think that challenge you that unless you are ready to return to the people."
Harper said he rejected an offer made by the Governor General to try to form a Government.
"So you would say the Governor General," "not, would not do that?" "" ". Mansbridge was asked.
"Yes, absolutely," he said, adding that people want another election.
On the campaign trail, Harper has repeatedly warned that if his party fails to win a majority government, the opposition would work on an arrangement to seize power.
But when Mansbridge pressed Harper on if they have this right under parliamentary rules, Harper said it is a matter of constitutional law debate.
"I do not think most Canadians would still be very surprised if they elected a minority conservative and discovered that they had some completely different from the Government.". "I think that this would be a shock of people," said Harper.
"In my opinion, is that Canadians expect the party that wins the election to govern the country." I think that any other thing that the public would not buy. ?
On Tuesday, said Ignatieff Mansbridge would be willing to form a Government under parliamentary rules if Harper wins the most seats in the election but not unable to win the confidence of the House of Commons.
"If the Governor wants to call on other parties, or myself, for example, to try and form a Government, then we attempt to form a Government", said Ignatieff.
"This is exactly how the rules, and what I'm trying to say Canadians is, I understand the rules, I respect the rules, I will follow them to the letter and I'm not going to form a coalition." This I am ready to do so is to speak to Mr. Duceppe and Mr. Layton or even Mr. Harper and say, "we have a problem and here's the plan I want to put before the Parliament, it is the budget I would bring in ' and then 'We take from there. ?
Harper again rejected the charges made by Jack Layton and Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe was ready to seize du pouvoir an agreement of coalition after their arrival in the second of the Paul Martin Liberals in 2004.
Duceppe and Layton stated that the three leaders came together and wrote a letter to tell and then Governor General Adrienne Clarkson that Harper was prepared to form a Government if Martin lost the confidence of the House of Commons.
But Harper refused the intention of the letter.
"The option I was talking about is that we were trying to influence the Government program, and if we want to defeat the Government, we must get our own mandate." I never suggested otherwise. ?
Earlier Thursday, said Harper correspondence between one of the members of its staff and the Ethics Commissioner in 2009 about a possible conflict of interest involving Bruce Carson showed that his Office follows the rules of conflict of interest.
Conservative campaign officials have published two letters of 2009 late Wednesday indicating top of page help, Guy Giorno, and Harper then contacted the Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson on Carson, a former Advisor Harper, who has since accused foreign lobbying violations.
The letters warned the conflict of interest possible Commissioner, measures Prime Minister's Office had taken to resolve it and described additional measures taken to remove Carson of potential conflict in the pre-budget process.
"I think that what shows the correspondence is that my Office ensures at all times that the conflict of interest rules are applied," Harper said during a campaign in the South, N.L. Conception Bay
"They have been applied in this case, the matter has been satisfactorily resolved."
Harper not answer when asked what he knew on the correspondence with the Ethics Commissioner 2009
