I just wanted an idea of how long you would hold that issue for. The Liberal caucaus is not the same group of people that installed the gun registry.

I'll jump in with a personal view on this as well: It isnt just the gun registry. There was the HRDC boondoggle, the Sea King replacement disaster (which has killed soldiers), the gross underfunding of our military as a whole.
While this is not Chretien or Martin's liberals any longer, Dion is still of that party. How long will they be held to those failures? As long as it takes for the next generation of Liberals to ascend into party leadership positions, in my view. We'll see who takes over after Dion resigns in about two months.
I agree on the bureaucracy, but I suppose that is calculoso's point. It isn't going to suddenly change because of a new government. Changing a bureaucracy is always a long term thing. The longer Harper governs the more opportunities the Conservatives have to reassign or eliminate those that need pruning.
