Liberal caucus members agreed unanimously on Monday that Stéphane Dion will stay on to lead a Liberal-NDP coalition, following reports that the two parties reached a tentative agreement to replace the minority Conservative government.
In an hour-long meeting, Dion received support from all three Liberal MPs vying to replace him as Liberal leader, Michael Ignatieff, Bob Rae and Dominic LeBlanc, the CBC's Susan Bonner reported from outside the House of Commons.
After the caucus meeting, Liberal MP Jim Karygiannis confirmed the decision on Dion's interim position was "a done deal," while the leadership campaign to replace him will continue.
