Question:

Dion becomes PM until May when the Liberals hold leadership convention and elect new leader (presumably Ignatieff). Now there's a new leader and PM of Canada (unelected by the general public) much like Martin taking over after Chretien retired. Does the new leader call a general election next fall to seek a mandate?
